Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

After making the decision, Lin Fan didn't delay any longer and took Kankan directly to Yong'an City, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Along the way, Jinyiwei summons were constantly issued.

By the time Lin Fan and Kankan arrived at the edge of the Sui Kingdom, Zhou Meng and other Jinyiwei had basically all gathered.

However, a few of them died in this operation and could never return.

When Zhou Meng and others learned that Lin Fan had successfully obtained the secret of immortality, they were all excited.

This means that they have made another contribution this time.

After joining forces with Zhou Meng and other Jinyiwei, a group of nearly a hundred people returned to Yong'an City in a mighty procession.

As for Lin Pingzhi, Lin Fan did not go looking for him on purpose. When the agreed time came, Lin Pingzhi would naturally return.

Perhaps it was because the strength Lin Fan displayed in Chang'an City shocked all parties, or perhaps few people knew that Lin Fan had obtained the Art of Immortality, so they did not encounter any setbacks on their way back.

After nearly a month of travel, the group finally returned to Yong'an City.

"Uncle Zhou, take your brothers to the Northern Pacification Office to register first. I'll go to the palace," Lin Fan said to Zhou Meng after returning to Yong'an City.

"Yes, my lord!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Meng responded respectfully, and then took a group of Jinyiwei to the Northern Pacification Office.

"Let's go, I'll take you to my place first," Lin Fan watched Zhou Meng and others leave, and then said to Kankan.

Kanan nodded slightly and had no objection to this.

Soon, the two returned to Lin Fan's residence in Yong'an City.

In the mansion, in addition to the servants, there are two hostesses, Jiang Yuyan and Azhu.

The two girls were very happy to see Lin Fan return.

Seeing that there was a beautiful woman beside Lin Fan, Ah Zhu and Jiang Yuyan looked at each other, with a vague intention of uniting to face the outside world, but they did not reveal anything in front of Lin Fan.

Lin Fan actually didn't care about this.

There is no need to delve too deeply into the occasional little thoughts between women, as long as they don't go overboard.

"Let me introduce you..." Lin Fan introduced both parties to each other with a smile.

The three girls looked at each other, treating each other as sisters, and seemed to be in harmony.

"You guys stay at home first. I'll go to the palace and be back soon," Lin Fan said after introducing both parties.

Ah Zhu said, "Well, we'll wait for Brother Lin to come back home."

Jiang Yuyan and Kankan also echoed.

Lin Fan nodded, turned around and left the mansion, heading towards the palace.

Lin Fan had been to the palace several times and was familiar with the place. It didn't take long for him to arrive at the palace gate. After someone went in to pass the message, he was soon summoned by Emperor Zhu Shou.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"

After meeting the emperor in Yong'an Palace, Lin Fan bowed, clasped his fists, and saluted.

Zhu Shou waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Fan thanked him, then stood up and stood solemnly in the hall.

What surprised Lin Fan was that Crown Prince Zhu Jun was also there, so he also pretended to bow.

Zhu Shou looked at Lin Fan and asked expectantly, "Did you bring back the Secret of Immortality from your trip to Sui?"

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and successfully brought back the secret of immortality," Lin Fan responded with a fist salute, then reached into his arms and took out the book of the secret of immortality.

"Quick, present it!"

Upon seeing this, Zhu Shou was overjoyed and gave instructions to the fore eunuch Sun beside him.

Eunuch Sun understood and walked up to Lin Fan. He took the Secret of Longevity from him, then turned around and presented it to Emperor Zhu Shou with both hands.

Zhu Shou took the Changsheng Jue, opened it and flipped through it, but suddenly frowned and said in a dissatisfied tone:

"Lin Fan, is this the secret of immortality you mentioned? It's just a few inexplicable pictures. Are you trying to fool me?"

"Your Majesty, you have wronged me," Lin Fan said with an aggrieved look.

"This secret of immortality was obtained by me with great effort from the Sui Dynasty's martial artists and the Sui Dynasty's Yuwen clan. It is absolutely authentic."

"If Your Majesty has any doubts, you may ask the palace experts to authenticate it. Moreover, Your Majesty only needs to look at its material to know that the Longevity Secret cannot be forged."

What Lin Fan gave to Zhu Shou was indeed the true secret of immortality.

Anyway, Lin Fan has already fully comprehended the secret of immortality, so even if he gives it to others, it will not affect him.

Moreover, except for Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, no one else can successfully practice this secret of immortality on their own.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Shou carefully observed the secret of longevity in his hand and found that its material was indeed extraordinary. Even in the imperial palace, there was no object made of the same material. He believed Lin Fan's words a little more.

But Zhu Shou was still unhappy. Even if the secret of immortality was true, what use would it be if he couldn't practice it?

Zhu Shou looked at Lin Fan and asked again, "Have you practiced this Longevity Secret?"

Lin Fan clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not hide anything from you. I did try to practice cultivation, but I simply could not understand it."

"I heard that this secret of longevity was passed down from Guangchengzi, the ancient teacher of the Yellow Emperor. Perhaps only Your Majesty and the Crown Prince can practice such a magical skill."

At this time, Zhu Jun on the side blinked his eyes and said to Zhu Shou coquettishly: "Father, can you let me see the legendary secret of longevity?"

"You see," Zhu Shou replied casually and handed the secret of longevity to the crown prince Zhu Jun.

On the one hand, Zhu Shou had only this one son and loved him very much; on the other hand, Zhu Shou felt that the secret of immortality was just a few pictures and there was nothing good to hide.

"Thank you, Father!"

Zhu Jun thanked him, took the Secret of Immortality, and then gently flipped through it.

"what?"

When Zhu Jun turned to the fifth picture, he suddenly let out a surprised sound.

"My prince, what's wrong?" Zhu Shou asked hurriedly after seeing Zhu Jun's reaction, "Did you see anything?"

Lin Fan in the hall also raised his brows slightly at this time.

Zhu Jun said crisply, "In reply to your father, I just feel that this picture seems different from the others. I feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity."

Could it be that this kid can also comprehend the secret of immortality?

Hearing Zhu Jun's words, Lin Fan couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.

"Rumor has it that the secret of immortality is contained in that picture. Your Highness the Crown Prince feels that the fifth picture is familiar. Perhaps if he studies it for a while, he will be able to comprehend the secret of immortality."

Lin Fan's eyes flickered slightly as he spoke calmly.

When Zhu Jun heard Lin Fan's words, a light flashed in his eyes.

Zhu Shou also began to look forward to it, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"Very good, Lin Fan, you have been rewarded for your contribution to the Longevity Secret. I have decided to promote you to the rank of Associate Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. In addition, I will reward you with a Jade Ruyi and ten thousand taels of silver!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan bowed, clasped his fists, and thanked him out loud.

Zhu Shou waved his hand and said, "You must be tired after traveling for several months. Go down and rest. Tomorrow I will send someone to announce your reward."

"Wei Chen resigns!"

Lin Fan clasped his fists and bowed, then left the hall and walked directly out of the palace.

"Master Lin, please wait a moment!"

Before Lin Fan walked out of the palace gate, a familiar voice suddenly came to his ears.
