Chapter 1

The dead leaves could not withstand the blowing of the breeze and swayed away from the branch that had been with it for many years.

Tiny spots of light hung on the cheeks of a sleeping person lying beneath a tree. The person had long eyelashes, and the light that escaped through the dense leaves reflected on his eyelids, casting a heavy shadow.

When the dead leaves were swaying slowly and were about to touch the ground, the person lying under the tree raised his hand lazily, and the dead leaves not far away immediately turned into ashes, as if they had never existed.

As if dissatisfied with the dead leaves disturbing his sleep, the man under the tree opened his eyes. He suddenly opened his eyes and did not care that his eyes were looking into the sun. Instead, he sat up helplessly and sighed heavily.

Ji Mingqing has been here for two months. Two months ago, he received a verbal promise from an HR of a well-paid foreign company, confirming that he would be able to start work next month.

Just when he was excited and was about to call his mother to report the good news, an out-of-control car came straight towards him. He subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he saw out of the corner of his eye that the child standing next to him was scared and motionless.

Ji Mingqing didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't even try to dodge and rushed in the opposite direction. The child was pushed away, and he was also knocked away.

After being knocked away, I was bumped here.

Ji Mingqing moved his position and leaned against the big tree behind him in a more comfortable posture. He looked at the sky boredly, wondering why there was not even a living thing here.

He recalled that when he first came here, he was led away with a confused look on his face. No matter what questions he asked, the guide did not answer him and even avoided him as if he were a flood or a beast.

It was not until he was brought to the entrance of [An Ting Palace] and the guide gave him a jade token and shot a golden light at his forehead that he breathed a sigh of relief as if a burden had been lifted, and finally said the first words of the day to Ji Mingqing.

"You go in." Then he turned and left quickly.

Before Ji Mingqing could even blink, the guide had disappeared.

It seemed to be the effect of the golden light. Ji Mingqing immediately understood his situation. Because he saved people and Anding Palace needed a cleaning fairy, he got the opportunity to become a fairy by chance.

In short, he is now a god!

Ji Mingqing didn't know what to say. He stood at the gate of Anding Palace, and according to the knowledge taught by the golden light, he stumbled to activate the jade slip in his hand. The moment the jade slip glowed, the gate of Anding Palace slowly opened. Ji Mingqing walked in following the guidance of the light, and finally, he came to a small courtyard.

He also didn't expect that this small courtyard would be the opportunity for him to ascend to heaven - because the ground in the yard needed to be swept.

The yard was covered with thick fallen leaves, leaving no place for anyone to step. Ji Mingqing walked into the yard and searched everywhere, but couldn't find a broom.

"You can't grab this with your hands." Just when he was at a loss, there was a knock on the door.

Ji Mingqing did not close the door after entering the yard. He raised his head and saw a tall man with a beard hiding behind the door with only his head showing. When he saw Ji Mingqing looking at him, he grinned.

"Are you new here?" The burly man stepped forward and greeted at the door. "I live next door. My name is Lu Jiyao."

"My name is Ji Mingqing, please come in!" It was like someone bringing a pillow when you feel sleepy. Ji Mingqing invited Lu Jiyao to come in. After hearing Ji Mingqing's invitation, Lu Jiyao walked in with confidence and stood formally in front of Ji Mingqing.

Only then did Ji Mingqing notice that his new neighbor was so tall. He himself was 185cm tall, and his neighbor was half a head taller than him!

"Are you responsible for sweeping this yard?" Lu Jiyao asked enthusiastically. "You have two trees in your yard, so the workload isn't too heavy. I have six trees in my yard."

"Are you next door to me?" Ji Mingqing placed the jade slip and the storage bag that the guide had just given him on the stone table in the courtyard, then looked up at Lu Jiyao, "Can I ask where the broom is?"

Lu Jiming was stunned for a moment, then a trace of nostalgia appeared on his face. "I haven't heard this word for a long time. Here, we don't need a broom to clean the yard, we just use the magic formula. The jade slips that teach the magic formula should be in the storage bag."

Ji Mingqing looked at the small storage bag in his hand, opened it, and brought it to his eyes while looking inside. Seeing him like this, Lu Jiyao smiled and said, "Did the person who sent you here not teach you how to use the storage bag?"

Ji Mingqing shook his head, "He only gave me a golden light."

"Then you should have some basic information in your mind. You can just look it up. I'm in the small courtyard to the west of you. If you need any help, you can come to me."

After saying that, Lu Jiyao stopped disturbing Ji Mingqing. After he left, Ji Mingqing sat on the stool and concentrated on studying the storage bag in his hand.

Unexpectedly, when he started to study, the method of using the storage bag automatically emerged in his mind, as if he had already learned it. With a little fiddling, he could use it skillfully.

There were several jade slips, two sets of clothes, a set of bedding, and twenty spirit beads.

The clothes were the kind worn by people in ancient times, with wide sleeves and a narrow waist, one set in black and one in white, with light dark gold patterns on them, which looked quite luxurious.

Lingzhu is the currency of the fairy world, and it seems to be used for transition. Ji Mingqing did not expect that the fairy world would be so considerate. He had just arrived here and provided so many things, which were much better than his joining benefits.

I heard that his joining benefits are a mouse pad and a keyboard cover.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingqing sighed. Although being a god was good, he still wanted to go back very much.

At least let him make a phone call.

After being depressed for a while, Ji Mingqing took a deep breath, then raised his hands and patted his cheeks, "They are all gods. Maybe they will find a way after they get familiar with it!"

Two months passed like this. After Ji Mingqing had thoroughly learned all the introductory techniques, he still had not found any news about how to return.

It’s not because of anything else, but mainly because he didn’t see anyone except Lu Jiyao!

His job is to ensure that the ground in his yard is clean. There are only two trees in his yard, and according to his observation, these two trees only drop one leaf per week on average.

When he first came here, he heard that the yard had not been cleaned for more than a hundred years.

In short, he is basically just doing nothing and getting paid.

Ji Mingqing didn't want to be lazy, but his job really made it impossible for him to be diligent. In the past two months, he hadn't seen what his nominal boss looked like.

Ji Mingqing was almost going crazy, but luckily, Lu Jiyao from next door would come over to chat with him from time to time. Although he didn't know much, he told Ji Mingqing everything he knew.

He now only knew that immortals were also divided into different levels. He had just become an immortal and was only a small near-immortal. Lu Jiyao was one level higher than him and was a common immortal. The next level higher was a spiritual immortal. When one became a spiritual immortal, he could choose any world to travel in without violating the rules of the three thousand small worlds.

And Ji Mingqing will then be able to choose the world in which he once lived.

But the time it takes to cultivate to the level of a spiritual immortal is really too long. According to Lu Jiyao, it takes at least eight to nine hundred years for everyone to cultivate to the level of a spiritual immortal. By that time, the opportunity will be gone!

However, Lu Jiyao also kept comforting Ji Mingqing, "Maybe there will be other ways. I have been here for a short time and don't know much. When we have a party, we can ask other seniors if they have any solutions."

Ji Ming listened to Lu Jiyao's words, and the tightness in his chest dissipated slightly.

Today, Ji Mingqing was sitting under a tree, looking out the door frequently. The moment Lu Jiyao appeared, Ji Mingqing suddenly stood up and rushed towards the door.

"Where are we going today?" Ji Mingqing asked excitedly, "How do we get there?"

"You've practiced wind control these past two days, right? Let's just ride the wind and arrive in less than half an hour." Lu Jiyao's furry face showed a hint of excitement. "I wonder how many people will be there today."

"There must have been a lot of people at the farewell party. I'd guess at least a dozen. Didn't you say your friend had a wide circle of friends? If he leaves like this, who knows how many people will be sad to see him go."

Today is the big party that Ji Mingqing has been looking forward to, the one that Lu Jiyao has been telling him about. It is said that it is because someone has cultivated to the level of a spiritual immortal, and his application to visit the small world has been approved, so he can leave the fairyland soon, so everyone wants to celebrate.

Ji Mingqing had already memorized the questions he wanted to ask firmly in his mind and had played them out in his mind many times. This was a perfect opportunity to find out some information, and he must not make any mistakes!

Not long after, the two arrived at one of the few restaurants in the fairyland. From a distance, the restaurant was shrouded in clouds and mist. Only when they got closer could they see the entire appearance of the restaurant.

The place was not big, with only three floors, but Ji Mingqing didn't care about the environment of the first restaurant he had after becoming a god. He only wanted to attend the party as quickly as possible. Even if everyone didn't know much and he couldn't get the answers he wanted, it didn't matter.

He wants to chat with someone!

Two months, two whole months, without a cell phone or internet, with Lu Jiyao as the only person he could chat with, Ji Mingqing was almost driven crazy! He used to think he was a homebody, fantasizing about living on an uninhabited desert island and entertaining himself.

Now it seems that he was really stupid.

Lu Jiyao was equally excited. He also aimed to cultivate to the level of a spiritual immortal. He kept talking about wanting to go back to his own world to see if there had been any improvements.

After landing, the two people ran into the restaurant at the same time.

When they arrived at the reserved room, the two men opened the door excitedly and were both stunned.

How come there is only one person in such a big room?
