That day, Gao Yan, who had just finished listening to the music at the Shuangxiu Building, was preparing to go home.
Suddenly, I received a message from the owner of the cultivation method shop.
So he went to the martial arts shop instead.
"You've arrived, sir! Please come in and have some tea!"
After serving the immortal tea, the shopkeeper smiled and took out two cultivation manuals, namely the "Crimson Heaven Immortal Scripture" and the "Black Heaven Immortal Scripture," but of course, they were incomplete, only containing the parts that led up to the ninth level of Earth Immortal!
After checking and finding nothing wrong, Gao Yan readily paid the bill and even gave an extra 100,000 immortal stones.
"Please take good care of the remaining copy of the 'Daytime Immortal Scripture', shopkeeper!" Gao Yan said with a smile.
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Haha, please rest assured, sir, the 'Daytime Immortal Scripture' has actually been found and is on its way to Tianyao City. It should arrive in three days at most!"
"Then I'll wait for your good news!"
Gao Yan nodded, got up and left the martial arts shop.
Back to No. 18 Phoenix Street.
Ling Susu, who was her personal maid, greeted her warmly.
Having grown accustomed to hardship, they only learned what happiness truly meant during this period.
All of this was brought to them by Gao Yan, so they served Gao Yan wholeheartedly.
After the meal.
Gao Yan gathered the four women together: "I have two announcements to make today. First, your annual salary will be increased to fifty immortal stones. Second, I will arrange for someone to help you restore your status!"
Because they couldn't pay the cultivation tax before, their Tianyao City status was revoked, and they were all unregistered residents!
"Thank you, sir!"
The four women all expressed their gratitude.
But after a while, Ling Susu approached Gao Yan alone: "Master, I don't want to regain my identity!"
"Worried about cultivation tax?"
Gao Yan asked, "Without a proper identity, even if someone kills you within the city, it's all for naught!"
"Mmm!" Ling Susu nodded shyly.
"Don't worry, I've already considered that. Since you're working for me, I'll pay your cultivation tax for you!" Gao Yan said.
"Thank you, sir!"
Ling Susu was so excited that she knelt down before Gao Yan.
"Alright, get up, and tell them the good news too!"
Although Gao Yan is not a saint, he is still willing to take care of the people around him.
He then tossed the two newly acquired immortal scriptures to the cultivation badge, instructing it to comprehend and cultivate immortal power.
The next day.
After arranging his work, Gao Yan strolled out of the Red Leaf Gang's headquarters.
Some may ask, given that his combat strength has already reached the ninth level of Earth Immortal, why did he still join the Red Leaf Gang?
The reason is simple.
The waters of the immortal realm are very deep.
As a newly ascended immortal, he was already dazzling enough to be at the third level of Earth Immortal upon his ascension. Then, he also displayed the strength of the ninth level of Earth Immortal. Wouldn't that be blatantly telling others that I have a great secret?
Needless to say, that's what would happen to them then!
Therefore, Gao Yan plans to stay in Tianyao City for a while.
About fifteen minutes later.
Gao Yan then arrived at the Immortal People's Office.
He came here to find Weiwei.
Weiwei was quite happy to see Gao Yan arrive.
Although she worked for the city lord's mansion, she was only a human immortal, while Gao Yan was an earth immortal.
When Gao Yan made his request, Weiwei readily agreed.
It happened on the morning of the second day.
Weiwei then delivered the identity tokens of the four women to her home.
When Gao Yan returned home that evening and found out, he texted Weiwei, inviting her to dinner the next day!
Giant Bear Gang.
The deputy leader, Li Feng, had two female immortals on his left and right arms, while a human immortal at the ninth level stood bowing in front of him.
"So that guy has never left the city?"
Li Feng asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, Vice Leader!"
"Find a way to lure him out of the city!" Li Feng said, narrowing his eyes.
"yes!"
Time flew by, and several more days passed in the blink of an eye.
That day, Gao Yan was listening to music in a dual-cultivation building.
Suddenly, the captain of the guards of the Dual Cultivation Building on Xihu Street came up to him and told him that the financial manager of the Dual Cultivation Building on Xihu Street had donated money and escaped from Tianyao City!
Gao Yan, the general manager, was mainly in charge of logistics and finance.
Therefore, the financial manager is also his direct subordinate!
"How long have they been on the run?"
Gao Yan asked.
"We've been on the run for half an hour!"
"How many immortal stones did they take away?" Gao Yan asked again.
"There should be over two hundred thousand!" the guard captain said.
"What is the opponent's cultivation level?"
"Seventh level of Human Immortal!"
Afterwards, Gao Yan asked a few more questions, but felt that it was unreasonable for the financial manager to run away with the donation.
First of all, the other party's annual salary is 2,000 immortal stones. More than 200,000 immortal stones may seem like his salary for more than 200 years, but for immortals who have eternal life, more than 200 years is really nothing!
What's more, the money he embezzled belonged to the Earth Immortal faction!
Is it possible for a seventh-level Immortal to escape the pursuit of an Earth Immortal?
Moreover, this financial manager has been working at Shuangxiu Building for thousands of years, so he must have a net worth of several million.
Despite possessing millions in assets, he actually chose to betray the Red Leaf Gang for just over two hundred thousand immortal stones!
What made Gao Yan even more suspicious was that the other party didn't abscond with the money earlier or later, but only after he became the manager of the Red Leaf Gang.
It's obvious they're after him!
He ascended to the celestial realm less than a month ago.
Not to mention making enemies, I don't even know many people.
Who would deliberately target him?
The image of Li Feng from the Giant Bear Gang flashed through his mind.
This guy once threatened him not to join the Giant Bear Gang, saying they were the enemy!
"Steward, shall we leave the city to pursue and kill them?"
