Junior Uncle is too cunning.

When Chen Fusheng returned to Lingbao Pavilion, Lingyu had already returned as well.

He thought for a moment, then headed straight for Lingyu's room, intending to sound her out. He gently knocked on the door and went inside.

"Master, you finished so quickly?" Chen Fusheng asked knowingly, showing great interest.

Lingyu glanced at him, but didn't think much of it, just hummed in agreement and said nothing more.

"How did the competition for official positions end? Who finally won the third-rank divine official position?"

"When did you become interested in these things? Hurry up and go back to cultivate properly, or your Uncle Ling Ling will beat you up again."

Seeing that Ling Yu was keeping quiet, Chen Fusheng didn't ask any more questions and went straight back to his room.

He sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, gently circulated the magic incantation, and directly entered the world of the God of Wealth.

Seeing that Li Shundao was busy, he didn't disturb him. He brewed himself a pot of Da Hong Pao tea, lay down on the rattan chair, and gently summoned the Water God Seal.

This Water God Seal represents a high-ranking official of the Eastern Five Elements Rain-Making Envoy, a third-rank position. In ancient dynasties, this would be equivalent to a chief official of the Six Ministries or a powerful regional governor.

Even in today's Heavenly Court, he would be among the ranks of the celestial beings, a person who would have a place at the Peach Banquet and be able to eat the peaches of immortality.

He picked up the bronze official seal, closed his eyes, and began to comprehend it.

Water is the source of all things and the foundation of life. It occupies a very large proportion in both the world and the human body.

"The highest virtue is like water, which benefits all things and does not contend." As Chen Fusheng continued to refine the bronze seal, streams of the Great Dao of Water constantly impacted him.

It was as if a Golden Immortal had displayed his entire Great Dao before him without any blind spots, and Chen Fusheng absorbed it eagerly.

Fortunately, his primordial spirit was powerful enough, and he absorbed about 70-80% of the water element in the bronze seal.

Chen Fusheng's body trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, extending his right hand. The moisture in the air quickly drew towards him.

A moment later, a large water sphere appeared in front of him.

Chen Fusheng clasped his hands together slightly, then quickly opened them to the sides. The water sphere in front of him transformed into several water spheres the size of basketball hoops, forming a circle around him.

In Chen Fusheng's hands, water could transform into a dragon one moment and a tiger the next... He was having a great time.

This is the fourth supernatural power that Chen Fusheng comprehended, "Water Control," which is the Water Path of the Five Elements.

Chen Fusheng slowly withdrew his water-based supernatural power. Of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—he was only lacking supernatural powers related to metal. After thinking for a while, he had no clue what to do.

He picked up his teacup and took a slow sip, but he wasn't in a hurry. Of his four great supernatural powers of wood, water, fire, and earth, only water and fire had reached the fourth level of the acquired realm thanks to the two rare treasures, the bronze official seal and the Frost Flame. He had only grasped the basics of wood and earth, and was only at the first level of the acquired realm.

Thinking about it this way, there is still a big gap between me and Li Shundao.

Although we are almost catching up in terms of quantity, we are still far behind in terms of quality.

All the supernatural abilities I comprehend are acquired. Only after reaching the ninth level of the acquired level can I advance to the innate level.

Li Shundao's five great supernatural abilities are all innate supernatural abilities, not to mention that he also has a great supernatural ability at the seventh level of innate level.

It's so wonderful to have a good birth!

Chen Fusheng sighed slowly, then shook his head and mocked himself. After transmigrating for so long, he never expected that the one who would put the most pressure on him in the end would be his own clone!

"Is the ritual complete? How was it?"

Li Shundao slowly walked in, and seeing that Chen Fusheng was awake, he asked with some concern.

Chen Fusheng nodded, and with a slight flick of his finger, a large water sphere instantly stood on his fingertip. He said with some pride, "Water control magic, how about that? Doesn't it look like a magician's?"

As he spoke, he stood up and gave a graceful gentlemanly bow, but unfortunately, he was missing a hat.

Li Shundao was speechless. He sat down, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and nodded perfunctorily.

Chen Fusheng sat down as well, his expression returning to seriousness. "How is it? Is everything arranged?"

"Yes, that's about it. The people have already been sent out, and the propaganda can begin in the next day or two."

"That's good. Are you going to use the same storybooks as last time?"

"Pretty much, but I added a few more. You killed a few dragons in the East China Sea, so I included that too. I also added a few 'God of Wealth slays evil dragons to save fishermen' and 'believers ask for help one by one, and God of Wealth grants their wishes and sends rain'... And it was specially made by Qiao An and the people of Xiong You Village. Do you want to hear it?"

Chen Fusheng hurriedly waved his hand, declining Li Shundao's offer. He had already had enough of this kind of inspirational talk.

However, he did not expect that Xiong Yiyi and her people would also participate in this fabricated myth.

However, considering her extremely potent toxicity towards dragons, perhaps this version of slaying the evil dragon will be the most widely bought... oops, the most widely spread.

"You're not leaving anytime soon, are you? I'm planning to go to Zhongzhou to keep things under control. What do you think?" Li Shundao took out a fruit he had somehow gotten his hands on and started eating it.

"Yes, it's good that you're going. It'll be a good opportunity to lay low for a while. I estimate I'll be here for the next hundred years or so. With me watching over things, you can rest assured!"

Li Shundao breathed a sigh of relief. "It's best that you're here. If anything happens, just remember to call me using the statue, and I'll send my incense avatar to help you."

"By the way, don't touch your water god position yet. I'll investigate it thoroughly when I go to Zhongzhou this time, and you can use it after I've found out."

Chen Fusheng nodded knowingly, and he and Li Shundao, having robbed half of the Da Hong Pao robe, returned to the Lingbao Pavilion.

He went out for a stroll and ran into Yang Fugui, only to find out that he had actually been in seclusion for half a month. Ling Yu had already taken Dao Lin and the others back to Lingbao Sect, and even Ling Ling had gone back with them.

Chen Fusheng will temporarily serve as the branch manager in Donghai Town. He will return when the Lingbao Sect sends a new branch manager.

Chen Fusheng patted Yang Fugui with a smile, "Fugui, your chance has come. You know that your uncle isn't very good at these business things, so your uncle has entrusted everything to you. I support your decision. Do a good job and don't let me down."

"By the way, my master has recently had some insights and needs to go into seclusion for a while. You can handle anything that comes up in the shop. Try to resolve everything with me and make big problems small and small problems disappear. Don't..." Chen Fusheng gave Yang Fugui a knowing look and happily walked out of Lingbao Pavilion.

Yang Fugui opened his mouth, pointed towards the inner room, feeling a mixture of resentment and amusement.

Chen Fusheng doesn't want to get involved, so how could he not see that? But you found a reason to go into seclusion, said it, and then left. You're being far too blatant.

At least give me a chance to turn a blind eye.

Yang Fugui shook his head and slowly walked into Lingbao Pavilion. However, he was still very touched by Chen Fusheng's trust in him.

With the aid of teleportation and the power of the world, Li Shundao finally returned to Zhongzhou in three days.

Walking through Wuyi Town, I pondered my plan, including arranging for elders and believers to continuously spread the name of the God of Wealth.

He also plans to make good use of the pseudonym Jin Wanqian to infiltrate the Zhongzhou Dao Alliance and strive to climb to a core high-level position as soon as possible.

Looking at the Huajian Chamber of Commerce not far away, Li Shundao looked up and stepped inside.

He planned to meet the Flower Ancestor, the powerful backer of the Flower Sect and the Flower Merchants Association, before meeting Wu Ku, the leader of the Dao Alliance.

To be honest, he had always been very interested in the invitation from Huajian decades ago, and wanted to hear what this Huajian Zhenjun was up to.
