Firefly Journey

Half a month has passed since we confirmed our relationship, and during this time, Fengling's spiritual practice has not been neglected.

She has a fairly good grasp of Chinese and can communicate normally with people. In addition, she has also basically mastered the fusion cultivation method and puppet-making secret technique given to her by Lin Yuanran.

After discussing it, the two decided to leave behind the puppets created using the puppet-making technique within the next few days, while they themselves would go to find a way to improve their cultivation level.

On this day, the two released their puppets to test whether they could perform daily life like intelligent robots.

The effect is great. The two puppets not only look exactly like two people, but they can also perform all sorts of actions, even simulating eating and going to the toilet. They are definitely a great product.

Indeed, Yang Jian is the Pure Source Mystic Dao True Lord, so it's likely that he could casually bestow upon someone a top-tier technique.

The puppets are like robots, driven by pre-entered commands from the main body, and can be remotely controlled. Even if the two are thousands of miles away from Hangzhou, they can remotely issue commands and correct their actions.

While testing the puppet, Lin Yuanran lay down playing on his phone.

He and Fengling agreed that once the puppet test was completed, the two would leave Hangzhou to seek opportunities in order to accelerate their cultivation.

Lin Yuanran had been paying attention to that mysterious group chat, but the chat content during this period was not very informative, consisting mostly of trivial and mundane matters.

The Wind God Shu Lao complained that his brothers and sisters disliked him, saying that he was not doing well in Sun City and wished he could travel around the human world and be free.

The professional dog owner researches different dog food every day, which shows that he has a deep affection for his dog. However, that's not entirely true; he's just bored in the sky and this is all he can do.

Nezha is usually speechless. Don't ask why; the answer is that he's constantly being imprisoned.

Apart from those few, most of the other big shots in the group were mostly lurking, and Lin Yuanran gradually became a familiar face, occasionally chiming in with a few words.

During his trip to Songhua Mountain, Lin Yuanran obtained a precious immortal plant, but upon returning, he did not rush to refine it.

According to the experts in the group, the Illusionary Jade Grass is a rare item. Although it can be eaten directly, if it is combined with other materials and refined into a pill before being swallowed, the effect will be several times better than eating the grass directly.

A few days ago, Chi Liuzi shared in the group that after eating the "Cloud Dew Pill" made with Illusionary Jade Grass as the main ingredient, her cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds, jumping from the late stage of Kaiyang Realm to the early stage of Void Realm.

She wasn't stingy and sent the pill formula to Lin Yuanran. According to her, once the pill formula was used, its value was like waste paper, so it was better to do a favor than to let it gather dust.

After all, she wasn't one of those so-called sects that kept everything hidden.

Lin Yuanran was extremely grateful and quickly expressed his loyalty, saying that as long as there was anything he could do to help, he should just ask and he would do whatever he could.

After a brief time together, Lin Yuanran had a very good impression of Chi Liuzi. She gave off the feeling of a silly daughter of a wealthy landowner, whose wealthy landowner was the mysterious group leader.

The existence of the prescription led to even more problems.

Lin Yuanran has absolutely no knowledge of alchemy...

Others may be skilled cooks but can't cook without rice, but he has rice but can't cook it.

Alright, short-term goal is clear: alchemy!

Pills are not something to be refined casually; it's a skill that requires either learning it yourself or finding a skilled cultivator to help you.

Lin Yuanran was in a dilemma. He had nowhere to learn, let alone know any cultivators who knew alchemy. He didn't even know many ordinary cultivators.

There's always a way out. Just as he was deep in thought, a new development came from the group chat.

A lurking user spoke in the group; Lin Yuanran had never seen such a user before.

The person's ID was very simple, seemingly consisting of their surname plus their job title.

Wang Lingguan: "Xiao Zi, I heard you've been active in Jiangdong lately. I have a job for you, would you like to do it?"

Chi Liuzi replied almost instantly, as if she lived in the group chat: "Isn't this my brother Wang? What, are you here to test us again on behalf of the Jade Emperor?"

Their conversation led Lin Yuanran to glean some clues. Could it be that... the Jade Emperor also knew about the existence of this group chat, but for some reason couldn't join, and could only obtain information by arranging spies?

Who is the Jade Emperor?

The supreme ruler of Heaven, the king of all gods, even He can't do anything about this group chat...

One can imagine what kind of person the group owner must be to have aroused the Jade Emperor's suspicion.

Wang Lingguan seemed a little embarrassed: "What are you saying? The group leader invited me in because I'm honest and kind. How can you frame me?"

"Ahem, let's not talk about that. I have a tricky matter to deal with in the mortal realm that needs someone to do it."

Deities cannot directly intervene in the human world, but they do govern the human order, which naturally gives rise to all sorts of complicated and trivial matters. In the past, these matters were managed by the sects in the human world. Those super sects were more or less related to the gods in the heavens, or even subordinate to them, managing the human world on behalf of the gods, similar in nature to the Ancestral God Church of the Pan-Ancient Continent.

So here's the question: why not go to the subordinate sects to resolve issues, but instead discuss them in the group chat?

Chi Liuzi said, "Oh? Why don't you tell me?"

Wang Lingguan said, "You've been staying in Jiangdong recently, and some problems have arisen there. Many mortals have mysteriously disappeared, mostly young women, and even many female cultivators have vanished. There must be something fishy about this."

"I didn't let the Taiping Sect investigate because I suspect there's a mole behind it all. Such a large-scale disappearance of people likely involves a chain of vested interests, the details of which I don't know. Therefore, I need a secret investigator. Only in this way can we find out the truth without alerting those traitors."

"Oh? What are the benefits of working for the Heavenly Court?" Chi Liuzi asked.

Wang Lingguan said, "It's hard to say what the reward will be, since we don't know how serious the matter is. But the Jade Emperor said that no matter what the outcome, there will be at least three catties of spirit millet after the matter is over, and then additional rewards will be given depending on the severity of the situation."

You should have heard from Erlang Shen and the others that in a few months, the Queen Mother of the West's peach orchard will be laden with fruit again, and she'll surely give you a few, along with Laozi's elixir and Du Kang's celestial wine..."

"Stop! Don't give me empty promises. I don't have time for that!" Chi Liuzi said rudely.

The Heavenly Court's Imperial General, whose real name was Wang E, seemed a little anxious. Lin Yuanran could feel his urgency even through the screen: "No, please, I'll call you Sister Zi, okay? Please help me!"

Wang Lingguan's words startled Lin Yuanran. Dude, you are the number one general in front of the Jade Emperor. How can you act coquettishly towards a young female cultivator in the Kaiyang Realm? Is this appropriate?

However, Lin Yuanran could understand Wang Lingguan's actions. He was not afraid of Chi Liuzi, but rather of her brother.

Wang Lingguan begged and pleaded, posting dozens of messages before Chi Liuzi finally relented.

"I'm going to Tianshan to find a spiritual spring, and I really don't have time lately. But don't you check the group messages? My brother brought in a new guy a while ago. He's a mortal cultivator like me. Why don't you ask him?"

Wang Lingguan hurriedly lit Aitelin Yuanran.

"Young man, don't be afraid. I'm a good person. I have a big business opportunity here. Think about it. The benefits are huge."
