88: Chapter 88 Ministry of Personnel: Accidentally Entering the Imperial Household!

Upon arriving at the Ancestral Hall, the incense inside was flourishing!

Watching the commoners kneeling devoutly, he smiled and explained, "This item belongs to my subordinate, originating from Shuhe Ancient Town. I saved them from dire straits, and he gifted this wonder to me."

The Ancestral Hall is a wonder that every major county must possess.

The two looked at each other, stunned; they hadn't expected that Shen Yi would even possess an Ancestral Hall!

This Shen Yi... his foundation seemed somewhat Advanced.

The previous rakshasa statue and yanbing platform were two wonders.

Mastering two wonders is enough for an evaluation to reach 'Good'!

Along the way, let alone three wonders... even one wonder is rare.

Most officials are just commoners... unremarkable.

This Shen, the Tanhua, being able to become a Tanhua, truly has some miraculous qualities...

A humble family?

Is it truly a humble family?

The two exchanged a glance but did not expose him.

Some secrets do not need to be broadcast to the world!

The gentle-looking middle-aged man smiled slightly and said indifferently,

"The Ancestral Hall is a wonder that every presiding official must choose!"

"Based on Lord Shen's political achievements, this ninth-rank Immortal Dynasty official position is already set in stone!"

"Becoming a ninth-rank Immortal Dynasty official allows one to obtain a wonder from the imperial court system."

"Others would naturally choose the Ancestral Hall, but it seems Lord Shen... has a wider range of choices!"

Shen Yi was curious.

"Can I choose others?"

Lord Liu said in a deep voice,

"Most people choose the Ancestral Hall to protect the commoners, as becoming an official of the Immortal Dynasty requires paying tribute."

"The commoners cannot be lost!"

"Since Lord Shen already has the Ancestral Hall, you can naturally choose others..."

Shen Yi felt a stir in his heart but said nothing more.

"Please, this way, my lords."

Shen Li led the two... slowly walking into the alleyway.

The two were initially puzzled, but upon sensing a rather familiar aura, their faces gradually stiffened.

The smile that the gentle middle-aged man had long worn on his face also disappeared.

Horror welled up in his eyes.

He actually used secret sound transmission to ask his colleague beside him,

"Brother Liu... are you sure this Shen Yi hasn't married into some high official's family or a noble Immortal Sect since the prefectural exam?"

"If you say the rakshasa statue was Luck... and the yanbing platform was Luck."

"Then what is going on with this Ancestral Hall and the Five Grains Temple?"

Lord Liu's lips twitched.

"The Pingyang Prefecture verification catalog... indeed did not find that this person has any connection with numerous noble families."

"Nor has he had contact with many Immortal Sects."

"Perhaps... he truly has extraordinary Luck?"

The gentle middle-aged man couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Go tell that to the ghosts!"

"A humble family with no background, possessing four wonders, and having killed a Level 9 Qi Refining Cultivator!"

"Ask yourself."

Lord Liu was silent.

"If you can't see through it, just stop looking."

"Anyway, he hasn't violated the laws of the imperial court... even if he is supported by an Immortal Sect, so what?"

"We just need to do our own jobs!"

The gentle middle-aged man nodded upon seeing this.

"That makes sense!"

Shen Yi stood in front of the steps... and asked in confusion.

"My lords?"

Lord Liu said calmly.

"The Five Grains Temple... Lord Shen, you didn't open this from a blind box, did you?"

Unknowingly, both of their tones and forms of address had changed.

They clearly regarded Shen Yi as someone of equal or even higher status than themselves.

Shen Yi was a bit surprised... but said innocently.

"That's not the case; after slaying that Demonic Path Cultivator, the Heavenly Dao bestowed a few tianyuan tongbao."

"Exchanged from Baohuang Heaven!"

"tianyuan tongbao?"

The two exchanged a glance, and a look of jealousy actually appeared in their eyes.

The gentle middle-aged man couldn't keep his smile, took a few deep breaths, and managed a forced smile.

"We won't look at the Five Grains Temple."

"Let's walk outside..."

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment and nodded.

He didn't mind anyway.

Just as they passed the Zhenyuan Temple, Lord Liu stopped.

His lips twitched.

"Lord Shen... this wouldn't be a wonder too, would it?"

He Xie, beside him, looked as if his eyeballs were about to pop out.

Shen Yi felt a bit guilty... and coughed a few times.

"It's just the ruins of a Taoist temple... it doesn't seem to have much power."

Upon hearing this, He Xie's emotions slightly eased.

Wait... why should he ease his emotions?

This kid is so young, and he holds five wonders in his hands???

Is this supported by the royal family, or by some damn Holy Land or noble clan?

Where did this Prodigy come from?

At Shen Yi's age... he was still struggling with the county-level imperial examinations.

Hmm... his appearance isn't as good as his, his political achievements aren't as good... and this Shen Yi is also a Cultivator.

Fine, fine, fine... a hexagonal warrior, huh!

Liu Li was also quite shocked, but he was always one to keep his emotions hidden.

After recording it, he said hoarsely.

"Lord Shen, please continue."

Shen Yi nodded... he was also afraid that the Zhenyuan Temple's true nature would be discovered.

He quickly led the two out of the city.

The Spirit Demon Storm had not dispersed; amidst the rolling yellow sand, a circular Formation was being maintained.

Inside the Formation were dozens of Cultivators!

The one with the highest cultivation was at Level 6 Qi Refining!

Braving the gravel, they stepped into the Formation.

A burst of dense Spiritual Qi rushed towards their faces!

He Xie immediately lost his composure and broke down.

"Two acres of spirit fields?"

"A damaged Spiritual Vein?"

"Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivators? Formation Masters?"

"A first-grade spirit plant mother stock?"

"A first-grade wonder."

"Spirit Farmers?"

"Lord Shen... this... this is simply too sensational!"

"Even an eighth-rank official doesn't have a foundation like yours!"

"Within a thousand miles... there is no one who can surpass your foundation!"

"You... you..."

Shen Yi appeared, and everyone stood up one after another.

They quickly bowed to Shen Yi.

Their attitudes were respectful, and their demeanor was submissive!

The two began to exchange glances again, their eyes devoid of any extra expressions, leaving only faces full of horror!

Only one song remained in their minds!

'Accidentally Intruded into the Imperial House...'

He Xie used secret sound transmission and said quickly,

"This Shen Yi must have someone behind him... at least a force of sixth-rank or above, or a fourth-rank noble family! Or perhaps a powerful Immortal Sect or even a Holy Land! We cannot provoke him!"

"Brother Liu, have you recorded the political achievements?"

"Yes, I have."

"Quickly give it to him... let's withdraw, shall we?"

"That makes sense..."

Seeing this, He Xie, not waiting for Shen Yi to continue his explanation, said quickly,

"There is no need to introduce this place."

"Lord Shen... this foundation is truly extraordinary."

"The officials of the Imperial Court's Promotion Department have already weighed this on the dossier!"

"Lord Shen just needs to open it... and accept the enfeoffment!"

"The two of us have other matters, so we will be leaving first..."

Shen Yi hurriedly tried to speak, but before he could finish his sentence, he saw the two disappear before his eyes.

Wait... what about the promised Ministry of Personnel official?

What about the "low position but great power"?

What is the meaning of this?

Everyone looked over.

Shen Yi was also somewhat helpless... and slowly opened the scroll!

Suddenly, the wind and clouds changed color... the heaven and earth cleared.

An earth-shattering Official Aura poured in... the Spiritual Qi suddenly surged!
