"Is my cultivation level full?" Li Daoyi wondered to himself as he looked at the system notification.

His three disciples had given him tremendous support, but he was stuck at the Golden Immortal level and hadn't broken through. In fact, a lot of that support had been wasted.

However, Li Daoyi didn't care. He wasn't particularly fond of cultivation to begin with; he preferred a leisurely life to physical training. Of course, that was on the premise that he had enough power to protect himself.

"Experience cards are indeed a good thing. System, give me ten more!" Li Daoyi said generously.

"Ding, 50 million points deducted."

Immediately afterwards, ten cards marked with question marks floated in front of Li Daoyi.

After a stick of incense had burned, Li Daoyi looked at the cards in front of him with a gloomy expression. He had a bad day. Apart from drawing a Dragon Subduing Arhat card at the peak of the Great Luo realm, all the others were Taiyi Golden Immortals. There were even a few cards whose names he had never heard of.

"Damn it, it seems like getting Yang Mei last time was pure luck," Li Daoyi said helplessly.

With a wave of his hand, he collected the other nine cards, holding the remaining large Luo card in his hand. On the card was a handsome monk with a golden dragon behind him, who was none other than the Arhat Subduing Dragon.

"This thing is useless," Li Daoyi said helplessly. With the Hunyuan Card, he no longer even bothered with the current Great Luo.

"Host, you can exchange for a puppet doll, and then choose to fuse the experience card with the doll," the system said.

"Huh? Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Li Daoyi immediately became interested. He himself didn't think much of it, but he didn't mind having another peak-level Da Luo henchman. Besides, those nine Taiyi Golden Immortal cards weren't useless.

By the time Li Daoyi finished everything, it was already broad daylight outside.

Just then, a bugle call sounded.

"Waaaaah..."

"Oh right, it seems like Yin Shou is coming back today." Li Daoyi snapped out of his reverie.

As Li Dao stepped out of the room, he saw Zhen Yuanzi and Kunpeng already waiting outside. A variety of snacks and refreshments were laid out in front of them, presumably prepared by Dongfang.

"Haha, fellow Daoist, you've finally come out! How's your research on the ranking list going?" Zhen Yuanzi asked. Li Daoyi had only lied beforehand, claiming he was going inside to study the Azure Sky Ranking.

"Not bad, Yin Shou is back today." Li Daoyi nodded with a smile.

"Hmm, I can feel it. Such powerful luck. Your disciple is no ordinary person," Zhen Yuanzi sighed.

“The future human king will naturally have abundant fortune,” Kunpeng said.

Li Daoyi walked to the window and saw that the street below was already crowded with people, and in the distance a large army was marching in an orderly manner towards the front.

Moreover, Li Daoyi spotted Mengmeng in the crowd. The little guy, like a mudfish, slid swiftly towards the army.

“This child.” Li Daoyi shook his head helplessly.

Yin Shou sat majestically on his horse, with several generals behind him: Dan Chenzi, Xuan Tianzong, Jiang Wenhuan, and a female general.

"I'm here."

Yin Shou was enjoying the attention of everyone when suddenly a voice came from the sky, followed by a figure descending from the heavens.

The little guy is so cute.

"Mengmeng." Yin Shou quickly reached out and caught her.

"Hehe..." The little guy appeared in front of Yin Shou with a grin.

"Is Master here?" Yin Shou asked.

"Yes, I'm here." Mengmeng nodded.

Upon hearing this, Yin Shou glanced at the Zhutian Tower in the distance, then respectfully clasped his hands in that direction before continuing his journey towards the palace.

"Who is this child?" the female general asked.

"Madam Yin, her name is Mengmeng, and she is the most noble person in the world," Dan Chenzi said. But he did not reveal any further details.

"Eeya?" Mengmeng suddenly turned around and looked at the person called Shi Niang.

“Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is Madam Yin, the wife of Li Jing, the general of Chentang Pass, and also a good friend of Jiang Rou. We met her on the road this time,” Yin Shou said.

"Oh!" Mengmeng nodded.

"Madam Yin?" On the Tower of All Heavens, Li Daoyi naturally saw everything clearly.

"At this time, Nezha should not be pregnant yet," Li Daoyi thought to himself.

Li Daoyi's deepest impression of Lady Yin is that of Yin Shiniang in the Hong Kong version of the Investiture of the Gods.

"I just didn't expect her to come to Chaoge alone, and that she's even friends with Jiang Rou," Li Daoyi sighed.

When passing by the Tower of All Heavens, Yin Shou's entourage did not stop, for their return to the capital would naturally begin with reporting back to the King.

"Fellow Daoist, what's wrong? Do you know that woman?" Zhen Yuanzi asked when he saw Li Daoyi staring at Yin Shiniang.

"Yes, she is a respectable woman." Li Daoyi nodded.

"It seems I have no choice but to intercept it. Yuanshi Tianzun, you'd better hurry up and send the Spirit Pearl over," Li Daoyi thought to himself.

Soon, Yin Shou and his entourage arrived at the palace gates. The palace gates were wide open, and all the officials were kneeling on the ground. Of course, Shang Rong, Bi Gan, Wen Zhong, and the like were still standing, but Kong Xuan was not present.

Yin Shou quickly dismounted and walked straight ahead.

"Hahaha, good, good, good!" Wen Zhong laughed loudly.

"Yin Shou greets his teacher, the prime minister, and his uncle." Yin Shou bowed respectfully to the three men, not daring to be presumptuous in their presence.

"Please rise, gentlemen." Yin Shou then addressed the kneeling civil and military officials. He was no longer as unruly as in the original story, but had learned respect. This was thanks to what Li Daoyi had taught him: you respect others, and others will respect you; it's a two-way street.

"Thank you, Your Highness," the officials said in unison.

"Let's go in. The King has already prepared a banquet," Shang Rong said with a smile.

"Wow, a banquet!" Mengmeng's figure jumped out immediately.

"Haha, Mengmeng, this time you're guaranteed to eat your fill," Wen Zhong laughed.

Soon, the group entered the palace together, while Lady Yin was led to Yin Shou's residence.

"Li Jing's wife?" Wen Zhong asked, glancing at the departing Madam Yin.

“Yes, we met her on the way. She seemed to have some conflict with Li Jing, so she ran away,” Yin Shou explained.

"This Li Jing, he certainly has ability, but he's too pedantic. He's so young, yet his thinking is more rigid than ours, these old bones. The King originally wanted to promote him, but he refused, insisting on not leaving Chen Tang Pass," Bigan said, shaking his head. He knew all the information about the Shang Dynasty officials, so he naturally knew Li Jing.

However, the group didn't pay any attention and walked into the palace chatting and laughing.

"Greetings, Father. The Battle of Beihai was a great victory. All thirty-six vassal states have been recovered. Today, I am returning the military tally." Yin Shou knelt in the hall, holding high the military tally that Emperor Yi had given him.

"Good, I have read all your memorials. You have all done very well and have not disappointed me. I will reward you according to your merits later." The first nod in satisfaction.

"Get up, everyone, sit down. This is a welcome banquet, please make yourselves at home." Emperor Yi was in a good mood.

Meanwhile, Mengmeng had already sat down at the table and started eating.

No one, including Emperor Yi, was surprised by Mengmeng's appearance. They all knew that she was the younger sister of Yin Shou's master, even though they had never met this mysterious master.

"Shou'er, come sit next to me." Di Yi called out to Yin Shou, who was about to sit down, pointing to the side next to him.

“This…” Yin Shou hesitated, because only the king could sit in Emperor Yi’s seat.

"What? You're not even listening to your father anymore?"

"yes."

Yin Shou quickly stepped forward and sat down next to Emperor Yi.

The officials and civil and military officials watched this scene with somewhat excited expressions.

"Do you remember what I said that day?" Di Yi asked, holding Yin Shou's hand.

“Father, I dare not hope for such a thing,” Yin Shou said hastily.

“A king’s word is his bond. Since I have said it, I must do it. The responsibility of leading this great Shang dynasty will now fall on your shoulders.”

“Father…” Yin Shou said, moved.

"I have already instructed the Grand Tutor and the others to make preparations. The abdication ceremony will be held in a month," Emperor Yi said with a smile.

"Thank you, Father King."

Looking at his father's aged face, Yin Shou finally couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

"Hmm..."

With her mouth full of food, Mengmeng watched this scene with curiosity. When she saw the faint black aura between Di Yi's brows, the little guy's eyes started to dart around.

Wen Zhong also looked at Di Yi with a sorrowful expression. With his cultivation level, it was not difficult for him to see that Di Yi's lifespan was coming to an end. Unlike Yin Shou, Di Yi had no cultivation. Putting aside his status, he was just an ordinary mortal.

"Tap tap tap..."

Just as the father and son were feeling sad, Mengmeng came running up with her short legs.

"Here, this is for you." Mengmeng took out a bottle and placed it on the table.

"This is..." Di Yi asked, somewhat puzzled.

But then Mengmeng leaned forward and whispered something.

"This is celestial elixir, which I stole from my brother. It is only suitable for mortals to consume, and one bottle can increase one's lifespan by one hundred years."

It turns out that the bottle contained immortal dew brewed by Li Daoyi using spirit peaches a long time ago. Later, due to the improvement of his cultivation, this stuff became useless. Unexpectedly, Mengmeng stole it and drank it as a beverage.

"Hiss..." Di Yi suddenly became somewhat excited.

“Mengmeng, you…” Yin Shou was also grateful to see Mengmeng. In fact, he also wanted his father to live a long life. Originally, he was also planning to ask Li Daoyi to give him a longevity medicine.

"Hehe... I've already finished quite a bit," Mengmeng said shyly.

Since Emperor Yi has no cultivation, he absolutely cannot eat those peaches of immortality or ginseng fruits, otherwise he will explode and die. As for the claim that smelling them can make one live for 360 days, that's also impossible; that's just an exaggeration.

"Alright, thank your brother for me." Di Yi said, putting away the bottle. He naturally assumed that this was Li Daoyi's idea.

At this time, at Yin Shou's residence.

"Su Zhi, it really is you."

Jiang Rou greeted her with a joyful expression, her face beaming with excitement.

"What? You've forgotten me now that you're the Crown Prince's wife?" Madam Yin laughed. Su Zhi was indeed her name.

"No way, it's been ten years since we last met, and you're still the same as ever." Looking at Madam Yin, who was dressed in military uniform and looked heroic, Jiang Rou couldn't help but sigh.

"You're still so beautiful."

"By the way, why did you suddenly think of Chaoge? Where is Lord Li?" Jiang Rou asked.

Upon hearing this, Madam Yin's expression immediately darkened.

"Don't even mention that bastard, he's driving me crazy."

"What happened? Come on, let's go inside and talk about it slowly," Jiang Rou said, taking the other person's hand.

"It's all that vixen's fault, she bewitched him completely, I... uh..."

As Madam Yin was speaking, she suddenly couldn't help but cover her mouth and turn away, feeling a wave of nausea.
