In the world of "Covering the Sky": An Analysis of the Ancient Sacred Body at the Start
Chapter 012: Fan Xian Also Wants to Cultivate Immortality
"What? You want to learn the Heaven-Covering Technique too?"
Yu Yi asked knowingly, "It's not that the Heaven-Covering Technique can't be passed on to Fan Xian, but it can't be taught easily."
Humans have a natural tendency to be unappreciative of things that are easily obtained without effort or dedication.
"think!"
Fan Xian made no secret of his desire for the Heaven-Covering Technique. If one could cultivate immortality, who would still want to practice martial arts?
"Even if I teach you the Heaven-Covering Technique, you won't be able to cultivate it; the level of this world is too low."
Fan Xian's expression darkened upon hearing this, but Yu Yi's next words rekindled hope in his heart.
"But nothing is absolute. Since you've read the novel 'Covering the Sky,' you should know about the Source. If you can obtain a large amount of Source, then you can naturally cultivate."
"You should know how precious the Source is. I am just a minor cultivator of the Life Spring. It is extremely difficult for me to obtain the Source in the world of Shrouding the Heavens."
"Out of consideration for our shared hometown, I can provide you with some resources to help you embark on the path of cultivation, but I can't support you forever..."
The level of the world in Joy of Life is too low. Unless you have a large amount of source, even if you cultivate the Shrouding the Heavens Technique for a lifetime, you probably won't be able to open up the Sea of Bitterness.
"Brother Yu, just tell me what you need me to do. As long as it's within my power, I won't refuse!"
Yu Yi wouldn't tell him so much for no reason; there must be something he needs him to do.
"I'll only stay in this world for a year at most before returning to the world of Shrouding the Heavens. I need someone to help me maintain order in the Qing Kingdom, and I think you're very suitable."
"In addition to this, I also practice the art of incense offerings, which requires a large amount of incense. I need you to help me spread my faith and collect incense in this world."
"If you're willing to work for me, your salary will be paid in Yuan. It'll be 1,000 jin of Yuan per year, and if you do a good job, there will be an end-of-year bonus..."
The conditions offered by Yu Yi were undeniably generous: a thousand catties of source energy per year, enough for Fan Xian to cultivate.
Having read the novel, Fan Xian naturally knew that even in the world of "Covering the Sky," the Origin was an extremely precious resource.
"But... I don't know how to handle government affairs."
"If you can't handle government affairs, then form a cabinet. After I leave this world, as long as you hold onto military and financial power, the Qing Kingdom won't fall into chaos."
"Since that's the case, then I agree. By the way, Brother Yu, you're actually able to return to Shrouding the Heavens?"
"I can only travel through time on my own, and I can't bring anyone with me for now. But if I become able to bring people through time in the future, I might consider bringing you through the world of Shrouding the Heavens..."
Although Fan Xian was very curious about why Yu Yi could travel between the two worlds, he wisely refrained from asking further questions.
Yu Yi didn't lie to Fan Xian; the Yin-Yang Mirror indeed couldn't take people on time travel. However, it might be possible later when it was upgraded to an Emperor Weapon or even a Celestial Artifact.
"Brother Yu, what is your identity in the world of Shrouding the Heavens? Do you know Ye Fan? I really liked that character when I read the novel in my past life..."
"I don't have any special status. I'm just an ordinary person in the world of Shrouding the Heavens. As for Ye Fan, I'm a few years ahead of him, so I guess you could say I'm his senior!"
"Then, Brother Yu, wouldn't you be able to curry favor with him? If you get on good terms with the future Heavenly Emperor Ye, even if you don't become an Immortal Emperor, you should at least be able to become a Mortal Immortal, right?"
"It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. Wouldn't it be more satisfying to become your own powerful support instead of clinging to someone else?"
With the Yin-Yang Mirror possessing limitless potential, capable of traversing countless worlds and analyzing and replicating special physiques, Yu Yi still has some ambition.
In addition, his relationship with Ye Fan was so-so; they had only played a few basketball games together. When he learned that he had transmigrated to the world of "Covering the Sky," he quickly dropped out of school.
"Brother Yu, what are your plans next? Are you going to attack the city directly? Do you need my help?"
"Although I am not strong enough, my Uncle Wuzhu's strength is no weaker than that of a Grandmaster..."
Now that he had decided to work under Yu Yi, Fan Xian naturally wanted to make a good impression on his boss.
"I don't need your help with this. I've already made arrangements, and someone will open the city gate for me soon."
"However, there's another matter I need you to do. Isn't Lin Ruofu your father-in-law? Go and persuade him to surrender! Then have him step forward to appease the officials..."
"You can tell him that if he is willing to surrender, the position of Grand Secretary will be his."
The civil and military officials of Qing Kingdom are certainly in a state of panic right now, and they need someone of influence to step forward and calm their minds. Lin Ruofu is very suitable.
Lin Ruofu is the prime minister of Qing Kingdom, and can be said to hold a high position and great power. His authority is self-evident. If he is willing to step forward, he can certainly appease the officials.
However, Lin Ruofu did not have a good reputation. Many people called him the greatest treacherous minister in history, but his ability to become the prime minister of a country was beyond doubt.
He was a truly intelligent man. Although he held the power of a prime minister, he did not cling to his position. In the original story, when he discovered that Emperor Qing had other ideas, he immediately resigned from his post.
Although he lost his power and went from being a prime minister second only to the emperor to an ordinary wealthy man, he at least managed to keep his personal life and family safe and sound.
"Brother Yu, I can give it a try, but I can't guarantee I'll be able to persuade her to surrender. After all, Wan'er and I aren't officially married yet..."
"Just relay my words to him. He's a smart man; he knows what to choose..."
With each new emperor comes a new court; Yu Yi will undoubtedly make a series of personnel adjustments after ascending the throne.
If Lin Ruofu doesn't know his place, even if he's Fan Xian's prospective father-in-law, he should still be dismissed.
"I've heard of your reputation as a 'Little Poet Immortal' even on the border. You're something else. If Li Bai and Du Fu knew about this, they'd be turning in their graves."
"Ahem, I've already said that those poems weren't written by me, but nobody believed me..."
Fan Xian gave an awkward laugh. It was a little embarrassing that his fellow townsman, who was also a time traveler, knew about his reciting poetry and showing off.
"By the way, you probably don't know about your background, do you? You are actually Emperor Qing's illegitimate son."
"How is that possible?"
Fan Xian found it hard to believe. He did know something about his background; his mother in this life was named Ye Qingmei, who was also a time traveler.
Ye Qingmei was a legendary woman who single-handedly established the Supervisory Council and the Imperial Treasury, and transformed the Ye Family Merchants into the number one merchant in the world.
Fan Xian initially planned to make money by producing glass, refined salt, perfume, and spirits, but he discovered that his transmigrated mother had already beaten him to it.
"Why would I lie to you about something like this? To be honest, my current status makes me your half-brother in this life..."
"If you want to verify this, you can go to Fan Jian and Chen Pingping; they are both people who know the truth..."
After Yu Yi transmigrated to the world of Joy of Life, he replaced everything about me, Li Chengru. He was also considered Li Chengru, but Li Chengru was not him.
"Brother Yu, thank you for telling me all this. As for whether it's true or not, I will verify it."
Fan Xian was in a state of utter confusion and found it hard to accept that he was actually Emperor Qing's illegitimate son.
