Shen Yuan Ring

After experiencing many twists and turns, Sun Puyue finally left the secret realm and returned to her family safely.

However, to her surprise, not long after her return, she learned some shocking news—Ji Daoyi had actually left the Ji family and gone to Huanglong Town to set up a post!

This order was personally issued by the head of the family, Ji Daoyi's father.

This sudden turn of events left Sun Puyue feeling somewhat regretful. She had originally planned to boast to him after returning, as she was certain that her current cultivation level had surpassed his.

Sun Puyue advanced to the perfect Na Yuan Realm, and his cultivation level broke through a major realm from the Body Refining Realm. In a remote small city like Daoshu City, this can be described as a meteoric rise!

Upon returning to her family, she first reassured them that she was safe and sound, and then, without any concealment, proactively told them about her breakthrough in cultivation.

When Sun Jiaping learned that his beloved daughter's cultivation had reached the level he had cultivated for decades in just a few months, his face showed endless satisfaction.

"If it weren't for the miraculous Cleansing Pill that the clan leader bestowed upon me a few months ago, which helped me break through to the Divine Realm, I, as your father, would probably have no face to face you!"

"Father, when other people's daughters' cultivation levels catch up with their own, they are all overjoyed and extremely proud. Why does it taste so sour when it comes to you?"

Faced with her daughter's coquettish behavior, Sun Jiaping was not embarrassed at all; instead, she burst into laughter.

"Proud, how could I not be proud! My daughter is only eleven years old, yet she has already reached a level that countless people cannot reach in their entire lives. How could I not feel extremely proud!"

Ultimately, thanks to his unparalleled cultivation, Sun Puyue joined the most authoritative team in the family—the Enforcement Team—and became its vice-captain.

With her current cultivation level, she is more than qualified to serve as the captain of the enforcement team.

It should be noted that just a few months ago, Grand Steward Ji Yang's cultivation level was only at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.

However, since she has no outstanding achievements in the family and her contributions to the family are somewhat insufficient, she has been temporarily appointed as the vice captain.

After their journey through the secret realm, the Ji family rose from the ashes like a phoenix, and their overall strength reached a new level.

Excluding the three elders who are currently in seclusion cultivating at the Divine Realm, the Ji family now boasts as many as five experts who have reached the Divine Realm. Only now does the Ji family truly live up to its prestigious reputation as one of the five great families.

As for the other stewards who had not yet broken through to the Divine Realm, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, abandoning their usual lazy demeanor.

This was because the patriarch had recently announced a shocking piece of news that chilled them to the bone: from now on, only those who had reached the Divine Realm in cultivation could hold the position of steward.

Of course, Ji Hai also gave the other deacons a glimmer of hope: as long as they break through to the Divine Realm within three years, they can continue to serve as deacons; otherwise, they will have to step down.

This led the Ji family to eagerly enter a fast-paced cultivation routine.

Two days later,

While Sun Puyue was having dinner with Ji Xiaohu and others, the arrival of someone forced them to end their gathering.

"Deputy Captain Sun, the patriarch is looking for you and wants you to go there immediately!"

"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry to tell me?"

"The head of the family didn't say, but Manager Wang from Huanglong Town is currently in the head of the family's study."

“Huanglong Town?” Sun Puyue murmured to herself. She felt like she had heard of this place somewhere before, but she couldn’t remember where she had heard of it.

Upon hearing her mention Huanglong Town, Ji Xiaohu couldn't help but think of Ji Daoyi's post there, and immediately said, "Huanglong Town, isn't that where Brother Dao is stationed?"

"Yes, I knew this place looked familiar. It turns out Dao Yi is here. If he knew my cultivation level now, do you think he would be shocked?"

"That's for sure. Even if Brother Dao breaks through quickly, he's probably only at the mid-stage now, while you're already working on breaking through to the Divine Realm."

"That's right, we're all so envious of you. You reached the Nascent Soul Realm so easily, while we're still stuck in the Body Refining Realm and don't know how long it will take before we can break through to the Nascent Soul Realm."

Sensing the envy of the crowd, Sun Puyue smiled slightly, "You'll be soon too. I was just lucky to meet my master. But compared to Dao Yi, I can only stand shoulder to shoulder with him now."

"I'm going to Uncle Hai's place first to see what he wants to see me about. You guys get together."

Sun Puyue bid farewell to Ji Zihan, Ji Xiaohu, and others, and headed to Ji Hai's study.

In less than fifteen minutes,

Sun Puyue went to Ji Hai's study. When she entered the study, she saw Wang Yang, the old shopkeeper, standing to the side with his head down, looking uneasy.

"Uncle Hai, I heard you were looking for me."

Sun Puyue casually walked into the study and spoke to Ji Hai, who was still deep in thought.

"Oh, Puyu. You've come at the right time. I have something important I need your help with, and you're the only one who can help me with this!"

Upon hearing Sun Puyue's voice, Ji Hai looked up at her as if waking from a dream and spoke.

"Uncle Hai, please just say what you need. I will definitely do my best to help if I can. I'm not used to you being so formal all of a sudden."

Seeing this, Ji Hai stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point: "Dao Yi, he's missing!"

"What? Dao Yi has disappeared? When did this happen?" Sun Puyue was also surprised to receive this news today.

"Uncle Hai, wasn't Dao Yi stationed in Huanglong Town? How could he have disappeared? And with his strength, there shouldn't be anyone there who could threaten his safety. Could it be that Dao Yi went to explore some secret realm and hasn't returned yet?"

"Let Manager Wang explain it to you!"

Then Sun Puyue looked at Wang Yang beside her, and the nervous and uneasy shopkeeper Wang Yang raised his head and told Sun Puyue everything.

After listening to Wang Yang's account, she had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

"Uncle Hai, Dao Yi should be fine. He probably just entered the secret realm and hasn't come out for a while."

"Judging from the letters he left behind, it is possible. However, I still can't let it go, so I asked you to come and help me investigate and find out where Dao Yi went."

"At the same time, Huanglong Town also needs someone to help look after it, so I'm asking you to do me a favor and help Dao Yi complete his posting for the next few months. Also, if you have time, please help me find him."

"Uncle Hai, don't worry, I will definitely bring Dao Yi back safely for you."

With Sun Puyue's assurance, Ji Hai felt much more at ease. Although he had absolute confidence in Ji Daoyi, having an extra layer of insurance was definitely better than having none.

"Puyu, don't tell anyone about Daoyi's disappearance, to prevent the news from spreading. Also, go and make some preparations; you'll go to Huanglong Town with Manager Wang tomorrow!"
