42: Chapter 42 Tianyuan Tongbao Huang Tian, a Mysterious Genius!
Wonders are a very special type of building in the Jing Kingdom.
Wonders are supervised and built by the Tianji Pavilion and the Ministry of Works... but similarly, you can also have commoners and Mortal craftsmen supervise the construction.
The result is the same.
Because this thing... is simply not something humans can manufacture.
For example, the first-grade Wonder in Shen Yi's hand, the rakshasa statue...
It originated from the Zhenwu Immortal Sect and was supervised by the Zhenwu Immortal Sect, but the spiritual infusion... was the credit of the tianyuan tongbao!
In the Jing Dynasty, besides the commonly used copper coins, there is a very special currency.
Named [tianyuan tongbao]!
tianyuan tongbao is generally issued directly by the Jing Dynasty's central government.
But it is not issued to any specific person.
Instead, it is issued to the entire world...
This is an extremely uncontrollable treasure... even the heaven-reaching big figures in the Jing Kingdom's central government cannot control it!
This object can seek out a [Host] on its own, provided that this person must have an extremely dazzling combat record... or have extremely deep good fortune, or an extremely high moral standard!
And possessing a tianyuan tongbao... allows one to enter the Jing Kingdom's treasury, [Baohuang Heaven], to select secret treasures.
It can be a Cultivation Technique, an Immortal technique, a martial arts Legacy, an Immortal Cave, or even a Spiritual Artifact or Immortal Artifact.
Wonders are just a part of the countless secret treasures!
The functions of Wonders vary; for example, the rakshasa statue can directly use copper coins to convert Dao soldiers.
Shen Yi also knows that there is a Wonder called the Five Grains Temple, which allows Spirit Farmers to cultivate within it, speeding up the growth, research, and mutation speed of the five grains of spiritual plants.
It can increase the yield of spiritual plants... and even use the Five Grains Temple for hybridization to further improve the spirituality of the spiritual plants.
The benefits are immense.
There is also the Kitchen God Temple... for example, the Tianxiangju Restaurant in Taiping County enshrines a small Wonder, the Kitchen God Temple!
But that Kitchen God Temple is not complete... it is just a wisp of Kitchen God fire drawn from the Wonder in Pingyang Prefecture.
It is precisely this wisp of Kitchen God fire that makes it possible to create delicious spiritual meals that are highly beneficial to Immortal Cultivators!
There are even Wonders like 'Water Diversion Channels', 'Horse Breeding Supervisors', and so on... their functions are diverse and colorful!
And right now... a 'Ancestral Hall' has actually appeared!
This made his mood incredibly heated!
The function of an Ancestral Hall... is also very direct, and very crude!
An Ancestral Hall can accumulate 'Human Qi'; the more commoners there are, the more prosperous the accumulated Human Qi will be.
And worshipping at the Ancestral Hall can increase the lifespan of commoners and protect them from the suffering of diseases... If it is a high-grade Ancestral Hall, the number of offspring born with Spiritual Roots and Martial Roots will greatly increase!
In the long run, why worry about the business not being prosperous?
But after a brief excitement... came thick suspicion!
If Shuhe Ancient Town is just a short stopover for the Yan Clan to mine minerals... then the existence of this Ancestral Hall.
That doesn't make sense.
Unless...
Unless this was not supervised by the Yan Clan at all...
Shen Yi's eyes flickered, and the three hundred soldiers quickly searched around the Ancestral Hall.
Finding nothing unusual, Shen Yi walked slowly towards the only main hall of the Ancestral Hall!
The door was ajar... Wang Meng stepped inside first.
The Rakshasa Guards lined up on both sides.
Shen Yi stepped over the threshold, his eyebrows raised.
He saw a figure in white, extremely thin, with his back to him.
The child from before was held in this person's arms.
His eyes were looking at these uninvited guests with some fear!
The person trembled twice and knelt on the prayer mat.
In front of the prayer mat was an offering table.
The incense candles on the offering table had burned out... it was very cold in the hall.
The scent of incense candles emanated from it... it was not strong, so it could be considered somewhat pleasant.
Looking up... he found that where the statues should have been placed, there were only a few lonely memorial tablets.
It was exceptionally cold and pitiful.
Feeling the not-so-strong Spiritual Qi on the man in front of him... the prompt of Shen Yi's intelligence probability suddenly sounded!
[Currently, you have encountered a mysterious Genius. He seems to have suffered some kind of fatal blow... hiding here to survive!]
[If you can help him solve a disaster, perhaps you can gain his loyalty!]
[Return rate (377%)]
"The overall return rate... will it not be counted in the single return rate of Shuhe Ancient Town?"
Shen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was no warmth in his eyes... nor was there any fawning attitude.
He seemed indifferent and said.
"Who are you?"
The figure suddenly coughed violently while hunched over... amidst a violent cough, a pool of blood appeared before him.
The young man seemed much more comfortable, stood up shakily... and turned around.
A rather effeminate face appeared before Shen Yi.
The man wiped the blood with his sleeve, but asked.
"This question should be asked by me to you, my lord!"
A cold smile curled on the corner of Shen Yi's mouth.
"This place... is my territory."
A trace of sudden realization appeared in the young man's eyes.
"So that is how it is..."
"I was wondering why the concealment Formation stopped working... I was wondering why the Ancestral Hall couldn't stop you from entering."
"This place is the Yan Clan Ancestral Hall... marked with a Bloodline tag!"
"You must have used the land deed and Official Aura to enter here, my lord!"
Shen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"You are quite clever..."
Zhou Xian moved a grandmaster chair over.
Shen Yi sat down comfortably.
He sat with his legs spread, full of composure.
"This official, Town Chief of Qinghe Town, Shen Yi!"
"Now, you can tell this official... who you are!"
But the young man plopped down on his knees, his forehead touching the ground.
"This lowly one, Yan Shu... greets you, my lord!"
Yan Shu stood up, but said in a deep voice.
"This lowly one..."
Before he could finish, he heard the sound of door-smashing outside.
Shen Yi waved his hand, and Wang Meng walked out, wanting to open the door!
But Yan Shu said hurriedly.
"My lord... you must not open it!"
"It must be that your tracks were exposed... and you were targeted by those evil spirits, who followed you step by step!"
"They broke my concealment Formation!"
"Those commoners have all turned into evil spirits... this Ancestral Hall is the only clean place in Shuhe Ancient Town!"
"If the gate is opened, the evil spirits can charge in because of the Bloodline..."
"By then, the Ancestral Hall will be destroyed, and the entire Shuhe Ancient Town will become a blood sacrifice ground for that evil Cultivator..."
"The thousand people in the Ancestral Hall will all die... My lord... you will not be able to escape either, my lord!"
Shen Yi did not speak... and Wang Meng did not stop his steps!
The vermilion gate opened with a bang.
He saw them standing under the steps, peeking from hidden corners since entering Shuhe Ancient Town.
Tilting their heads, looking at Wang Meng!
Then... a sound like inflating air appeared.
The sallow and thin commoners began to rot, their pupils filled with bloodshot veins... their faces were extremely hideous.
Their fingers were long and narrow, as if they had turned into zombies.
They roared and smashed towards Wang Meng!
Wang Meng sneered... the Rakshasa Guards swarmed up!
They started fighting directly!
Shen Yi stood up, didn't move, just turned his body.
The grandmaster chair also turned.
He sat down slowly and methodically, watching the fighting outside the door, and said calmly.
"No matter..."
"You have plenty of time to explain the whole story to this official."
