Liu Jingyun was alone and powerless, unable to oppose Liu Jingyu, the leader of the Yushan Sect. He had no choice but to take a different approach and build up a group of forces in the secular world. Because Liu Jingyun's "immortal residence" was called "Shangqing Palace", Liu Jingyun claimed to be a disciple of "Shangqing Palace" and began his "revenge plan".
Liu Jingyun searched the Immortal Mansion for a large number of elixirs and magic weapons that he could use at the moment, and filled two storage bags with them before bringing them out. When Liu Jingyun wanted to take something else, he found that he couldn't take anything.
At that moment, more than half of the "Immortal Mansion" was closed, and the alchemy room, treasure house, and herbal garden were all trapped in the barrier, leaving only the martial arts building and a few empty rooms outside for Liu Jingyun to enter and exit.
Outside the barrier stood a bluestone stele, inscribed in tiny black calligraphy. The inscription read: "Liu Jingyun is not the Immortal Mansion's master. In recognition of his contribution to the restoration of the Immortal Mansion, he is being given elixirs and magical artifacts of equal value in exchange." Liu Jingyun may access the gongfa building at any time, and several vacant rooms outside may be used as personal space. The tables, chairs, benches, and building materials in the vacant rooms are all given to Liu Jingyun.
After Liu Jingyun finished reading these words, all the words on the stone tablet disappeared.
Although Liu Jingyun felt somewhat disappointed, he also knew that some "immortal fates" were not something everyone was blessed with. Ever since Liu Jingyun had possessed the "Immortal Mansion" for so many years but had been unable to control it, he had secretly muttered to himself that he wasn't destined for it. Now that the words on the bluestone tablet made it crystal clear, Liu Jingyun dared not harbor any delusions. He felt incredibly fortunate that the "Immortal Mansion" had bestowed upon him so many magical treasures and elixirs.
In the days that followed, Liu Jingyun spent his time cultivating and searching for information in the "Immortal Mansion"'s gongfa building. Liu Jingyun desperately hoped that his life could return to normal. Although his cultivation level was not high, he had a warm family and a younger brother who supported him on his path to immortality.
The techniques in the Gongfa Building encompassed a wide range of skills, including spells and formations. Surprisingly, Liu Jingyun found a thin booklet titled "Ten Miles and Eight Desolations, the Star-Shifting Formation." Curious, Liu Jingyun consulted the booklet, which revealed that using the luck of one hundred and eight mortals of great fortune as the trigger, and the best merit and luck as the core of the formation, it could reverse time and space by eighteen years.
Eighteen years? If his people had been prepared eighteen years ago, they would have been able to avoid this catastrophe.
Liu Jingyun was overjoyed, and then went to look for the people with great luck needed to set up the formation according to the requirements of the formation.
In order to fulfill his grand wish, Liu Jingyun had to find help. Otherwise, if he relied on himself alone, eighteen years would have passed by the time he could gather so many people with great luck and materials for setting up the formation.
Liu Jingyun first approached the Loose Cultivator Alliance. To avoid speculation about his identity, Liu Jingyun didn't reveal his grudge against the Jade Mountain Sect's leader. He simply made up an excuse, saying he disliked the Jade Mountain Sect's long-term oppression of non-Jade Mountain cultivators and their monopolization of over 80% of the cultivation world's resources.
The leader of the Cultivation Alliance believed Liu Jingyun was an ambitious cultivator who wanted to seize cultivation resources from the Yushan Sect, so he was naturally willing to follow him. Honestly, over the past century, all of the better mines and cultivation sites in the Langyuan Secret Realm had been taken over by the Yushan Sect, making life very difficult for these independent cultivators.
Liu Jingyun possesses both magical weapons and elixirs. With the help of his invisibility cloak and hidden spirit ring, Liu Jingyu's strength becomes unpredictable. The Loose Cultivator Alliance agrees to cooperate with Liu Jingyun to overthrow the Yushan Sect's dominance over the cultivation world.
Yu Xiaohan was the first person Liu Jingyun found who had great luck. A jewelry tycoon with a keen business sense, he was difficult to deceive, and could only be forced into submission through force. Because Yu Xiaohan was accompanied by bodyguards, Liu Jingyun planned to kidnap him himself. However, he unexpectedly capsized and was severely injured by the Qiankun Mirror.
Ren Zhongyuan was also one of Liu Jingyun's 108 great fortunes. Because Ren Lao Niang believed in superstition, this time, Liu Jingyun sent out an old Taoist priest under his command to trick Ren Lao Niang into offering the man voluntarily.
This Ning'an Temple is one of Liu Jingyun's strongholds in the secular world.
The jade slips explained that to set up the "Ten Miles and Eight Desolations, the Stars Turn and Shift" formation, one needed to find a place of merit and good fortune as the centerpiece. Meritorious places were generally temples and Taoist temples. Ning'an Temple was located in a remote area, and Liu Jingyun immediately took a liking to it. He dispatched people under the guise of returned overseas Chinese, spending a large sum of money to renovate the temple, even going so far as to stage a "Bodhisattva apparition" incident.
Although Ning'an Temple was the base camp built by Liu Jingyun himself, he could not believe the loyalty of his subordinates.
Master Hongxin is one of Liu Jingyun's subordinates.
After Liu Jingyun was injured, he had to use Hongxin and the others while keeping an eye on them, fearing he'd get screwed again and be tricked by Hongxin. Alas! It's rare for a cultivator to be so frustrated!
Hongxin had seen Liu Jingyun perform magic and understood his "supernatural powers", so he naturally wouldn't seek death. For now, Hongxin was still Liu Jingyun's loyal subordinate.
Kyoto City.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wen Yulong was called away by a call from the military region. The caller said that there was a small mistake in the matter under his jurisdiction and asked Wen Yulong to go and solve it quickly.
Wen Yulong was transferred to the Jingyang Military Region. Yuan Datou, considering Wen Yiran and General Zhou's friendship, assigned him the task of managing military supplies and logistics. This task was relatively easy and easy to achieve results, and it was Yuan Datou's small reward for Wen Yulong's status as General Zhou's relative.
Before Wen Yulong's suspension, it was the end of the year when military supplies were distributed. These tasks were always handled by a dedicated person, and even when Wen Yulong was not present, his subordinates kept everything in order, without any chaos.
Wen Yulong couldn't figure out what could go wrong, but since Commander Yuan had spoken, he hurried back to the military region. After all, no matter how he changed his position, he would still work under Yuan Datou.
Wen Yulong was in such a hurry that he forgot about Wu Xiuli who was still at her mother's house.
Wu Xiuyun stayed at her mother's house for two days, and received more than a dozen subtle cold stares from her eldest sister-in-law, a few sarcastic remarks from her second sister-in-law, and a lot of lectures from Wu Xiuli's mother, Wu Pozi.
After the Wu family came to Kyoto, they had been living under Wen Yulong's patronage. Even the business of Wu Xiushi, the eldest brother of the Wu family, was built thanks to Wen Yulong.
Therefore, Wu Xiuli and her husband enjoyed a high status in the Wu family. Every year on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Wen Yulong and Wu Xiuli would return to her parents' home and would be warmly entertained by her family. Wu Xiuli would also be welcomed by her family whenever she returned to her parents' home.
