One person: I, Daoist Master, am a cultivator of immortality!

"This...this...this...this...are you perhaps a deity?" Sun Yao's move completely shocked Qi Huan, also known as Qi Tiezui. Even though he was a fortune teller and feng shui master, he was not an extraordinary person and had never seen such a scene before. Qi Tiezui wasn't the only one shocked; Er Yuehong was also frightened by Sun Yao's methods.

"Immortals? Not quite. But compared to ordinary people, I am indeed more like an immortal. Immortals are just people who have transcended mortals; in the end, they are still human. Even if they eventually become gods, it doesn't mean they weren't once human. Aren't many of those listed on Jiang Ziya's Investiture of the Gods originally human who became gods?"

Since they intended to see themselves as deities, Sun Yao didn't plan to expose them. After all, having such an identity as a cover would make it easier for him to do some shocking things.

“But can you really deal with Zuo Qianzhi on your own? My father seems to be plotting something with him, I’ve sensed it. I’ve also been trying to find out what Zuo Qianzhi is up to lately, and according to what I’ve gathered, he seems to be conducting some kind of experiment on people.” Er Yuehong quickly recovered and told Sun Yao what she had found out.

"Don't worry, no matter how many experiments he does, he can't escape the word 'biological.' As long as he's alive, I have a way to kill him. If he's dead, I have a way to make him die again. I can kill zombies and ghosts, let alone a living thing." Sun Yao waved his hand after hearing this, and then put the basket on his back on the stone table in the yard.

Sun Yao lifted the lid of his basket, and a spirited rooster flew out. This was the Nuqing Chicken that Sun Yao had brought from Nuqing County, and he had carried it all the way. It wasn't that he didn't trust Hong Guniang with it, but the creature would wobble around if it wasn't on his back. This little thing was also quite opportunistic; it bullied Hong Guniang and she couldn't do anything about it, so carrying it was quite a ordeal for her. Having no other choice, Sun Yao had to carry it himself.

This little thing is precious; it needs to eat Ganoderma lucidum at every meal. Sun Yao has collected quite a few Ganoderma lucidum along the way, but feeding it like this every day won't last. He still needs to go to the Northeast as soon as possible to collect a 300-year-old ginseng and refine this little thing into Phoenix Blood Pill; otherwise, even with a wealthy family, it will bankrupt them.

As Sun Yao pondered this, he took out a Ganoderma lucidum from his treasure pouch and fed it to the Angry Sun Chicken. This small action stunned Er Yuehong and Qi Tiezui.

Feeding chickens with Ganoderma lucidum is such a luxury. This was Er Yuehong's inner monologue, but Qi Tiezui thought differently. Qi Tiezui was quite knowledgeable, especially when it came to mystical things; he was even better than most of the people in the Nine Gates. He recognized the chicken at first glance as a rare phoenix breed, and after thinking for a moment, he determined what kind of breed it was.

"Young man, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the Nuqing Chicken, unique to Nuqing County in Xiangxi. A natural-born phoenix breed, even in Nuqing County, it's a once-in-a-century occurrence. You're truly fortunate to have obtained a Nuqing Chicken for protection. With this Nuqing Chicken, I doubt any poisonous insects in the world can get close to you." Qi Tiezui circled the Nuqing Chicken, examining it from head to toe, and then began to boast.

"It's alright. I traded it with an old herbalist in a Miao village deep in the mountains of western Hunan. It is indeed a treasure, but for me, only the trace of phoenix blood inside it is useful." Sun Yao continued to feed the Angry Sun Chicken with Ganoderma lucidum without looking up. After the Angry Sun Chicken finished eating the entire Ganoderma lucidum, he threw it into his basket.

After finishing the daily feeding, Sun Yao looked up and scanned the crowd. "Now the problem is, what should we do with this girl? The reason I intervened was because Hong and I were eating noodles at their family's noodle stall. Those people disturbed my meal, which annoyed me, and forcing someone into prostitution is even more despicable. That's why I taught them a lesson. But after that, I didn't know what to do with this girl. When we chased after them, we found her father had already died."

After Sun Yao finished speaking, the girl seemed to have lost all hope, her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, and she looked incredibly pitiful.

"Then let her come with me and join my household. I will never let her suffer the slightest grievance." After a moment's thought, Er Yuehong still spoke these words firmly. Sun Yao believed that this was the result of Er Yuehong's careful consideration, so he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll leave her to you. But this girl is someone I rescued. If you treat her badly afterward, don't blame me for dealing with you."

"You can rest assured about that. I will absolutely not mistreat her in the slightest," Er Yuehong assured him, and Sun Yao nodded in agreement.

"Alright, leave the rest to me. Tonight I'll scout out Zuo Qianzhi's residence, and if possible, I'll take him out tonight. Hong, go and send a message to the boss, telling him to bring his brothers directly to Shacheng. Let's occupy this place first, and then slowly talk to the Duan family father and son. They'll eventually agree."

"it is good!"

That night, Sun Yao directly piloted his flying sword, soaring into the sky from Qi Tiezui's courtyard and heading towards Zuo Qianzhi's residence. He landed near the residence to avoid being discovered. Then, he stealthily advanced, silently sneaking into Zuo Qianzhi's mansion.

No guards hindered him along the way, but when he entered Zuo Qianzhi's residence, he encountered a fellow traveler, who appeared to be Zhang Qishan.

Zhang Qishan does look somewhat similar to the character in the TV series "The Mystic Nine." His nighttime intrusion into Zuo Qianzhi's residence seems to be part of his plan to deal with him.

"Who are you?" Zhang Qishan saw Sun Yao, but also realized that Sun Yao did not seem to be on the same side as Zuo Qianzhi, so he asked this question.

"You should have figured it out by now. My goal is the same as yours: to deal with Zuo Qianzhi. But you can't take him down by yourself, but I have a way. How about it? Want to cooperate with me and take him out tonight? With my help, killing Zuo Qianzhi will be a piece of cake. As long as you don't cause trouble, I'll take care of him."
