C45 Uncover

"Hehe, these two Taoists are too interesting. Their thoughts are all on money!"

Leng Linglong smiled and sent a telepathic message to Li Yi, "Tell me, why are they so greedy for money? They aren't like us cultivators at all."

Li Yi smiled. Once upon a time, wasn't he the same as them? However, now that his cultivation level had changed, his vision and scope of vision would naturally be different as well.

"There's nothing strange about that. Look at their age, they are only at the 2nd level of the Qi Cultivating Stage. It's obvious that they are hopeless for the road of immortality. Naturally, they will value money."

Yuesu City was a big city in the south of the Kingdom of Tianfeng. It governed two counties and twelve cities, and had always been an important granary of the Kingdom of Tianfeng. Twenty percent of the country's grains came from there.

Therefore, the drought that had persisted for more than two months, regardless of whether it was the mayor, officials, or commoners, were all extremely anxious. If the drought continued like this, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The mayor had no other choice but to entrust the matter of begging for rain to the cultivators of the Immortal Dao. He posted the name list and used a large sum of money to hire talented people to request for rain.

Immortal Master Liu was originally a gangster in the martial arts world. Earlier on, he had stumbled upon a Rogue Immortal's cave and obtained a third-rate Immortal cultivation technique.

Although he himself had spiritual roots, he had the lowest level of spiritual roots. Although he accidentally became a cultivator and had seen a bit of the world, he was only able to reach the 1st level of Qi Cultivating Stage in his middle age.

Thus, he gave up on the idea of leisure and focused on managing the businesses in this secular world. All he wanted was to enjoy the prosperity of the mortal world. A few days ago, he returned to the place of his birth, Yue Su City and chased away the original monastery head.

Luckily, he had some skill. Although he mainly practiced wind cultivation techniques, he knew the [Spirit Rain Technique], and with this technique, he could fool ignorant commoners and officials of Yue Su City who he had never seen before. He was able to make a name for himself quickly, and was shocked by the countless citizens of Yue Su City to become an immortal, giving him the title of an immortal master.

In a short period of time, incense was burning hot, gathering thousands of Daoists from all directions who came to visit and pay their respects. Clear Wind Monastery had also become an illustrious and renowned Great Dao Monastery in the territory under the jurisdiction of Yue Susu City.

During the drought in Yue Susu City, Immortal Master Liu was the first to come to the City Lord's mind. He was willing to spend a large sum of money to invite his disciples to come here and beg for rain.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Tianzhi from the Heavenly Master School had heard of this news and brought a group of disciples to beg Immortal Master Liu. After a competition, half of the money had been split between them.

Breaking off a person's path of wealth was akin to killing one's parents, not to mention such a large amount of silver!

Naturally, Immortal Master Liu hated Zhang Tian shi to the core.

Similarly, Zhang Tianzhi despised Immortal Master Liu.

From his point of view, Immortal Master Liu was just lucky. In terms of fighting strength, how could he compare to a genuine disciple of the Golden Cauldron Sect like him? Although he had been expelled from the Golden Cauldron Sect due to a mistake, he was still a true Immortal Cultivator of the Golden Cauldron Sect (the lowest level).

Unfortunately, he didn't have any Water Spirit Roots, and he also trained in a fire attribute cultivation technique, which was incompatible with the matter of begging for rain. At most, he could just rely on the talismans from the Golden Cauldron Sect to rain a little. However, he didn't dare to waste too many of these talismans, so his reputation was far below Immortal Master Liu's.

As a former disciple of the Golden Cauldron Sect, Zhang Tianzhi was well aware of what Immortal Master Liu meant by the [Spirit Rain Technique]. The [Spirit Rain Technique] was only a small technique used to irrigate Spirit Grasses.

In terms of fighting strength, although he was also at the 2nd level of the Qi Cultivating Stage, he could defeat Immortal Master Liu in just two or three hits. However, he couldn't rely on the "Spirit Rain Technique", which was why Immortal Master Liu was so unhappy.

The tens of thousands of citizens and officials in the city of Yue Su had long complained in their hearts. It was just that due to their reverence for Immortal Master Liu and Master Zhang Tian Shi, they didn't dare to say any bad words, afraid that they would anger the heavens and allow the drought to continue for a longer period of time.

In the face of the continuous drought, all methods of resisting drought were useless. Right now, the only hope for the citizens and officials was to rely on the rain from heaven, so no one dared to offend these Taoists at this time.

After looking for a while, the initial novelty had disappeared. Li Yi and Wang Lin both felt somewhat bored.

With their Foundation Establishment Stage strength, it was obvious that Immortal Master Liu and Zhang Tianzhi did not have the ability to beg for the rain. They were only putting on an act to swindle the officials out of their money.

"Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion to have a look. This drought is definitely not that simple." "Since we've encountered them, we must at least investigate them thoroughly. Otherwise, our dao heart will be violated!"

Li Yi gave one last look at the two still quarreling Daoists, before pulling Leng Linglong's hand and walking towards the city gate.

Leng Linglong's face turned red, but she did not struggle, allowing Li Yi to pull her to the front of the city gate.

"Stop!" From the looks of your clothes, you don't look like you're from here. Where did you come from?

Two soldiers holding long spears blocked the Li Yi duo's path with their spears.

"You need a guide to enter the city?"

Li Yi was shocked.

"It was originally unnecessary, but it seems to be a very bad time. Have you never heard of natural or man-made disasters? Demons will definitely be the culprit in the year of disaster. Who knows if you are spies from the Chaos Faction who want to take the opportunity to sneak into the city and wreak havoc? In short, those without a guide were not allowed to enter the city! Go, go, go! "

The soldier scolded while waving his hand to chase her away. Originally, Leng Linglong was just about to make a move out of anger, but she was pulled away by Li Yi.

"Forget it, Linglong, don't lower yourself to the level of these ordinary soldiers. What they say is not wrong, in the year of great calamity, there will be demons. They are only doing their duty."

In the end, he had managed to persuade Leng Linglong. But the question was, how was he to enter the city? A dignified cultivator would not even be able to enter a city gate in the secular world. If the news were to spread out and be known by his fellow cultivators in the cultivation world, he would lose a lot of face.

Originally, with Li Yi and Leng Linglong's status as inner disciples of the Misty Pavilion, one of the Five Great Sects in the Eastern Region, once it was revealed, the Mayor and a group of officials would have to fart and come out to welcome them.

With this kind of expression, they walked out from the shadows into the light. It would be difficult to find out the real reason for this drought.

Standing in the light, there was always less to see than standing in the dark.

No, he had to think of another way.

Could it be that he wanted to go in stealthily?

It was enough to use the most basic Water Concealment Spell to deal with these commoners who didn't even need Elder Kong's Great Void Stealth Charm, but even so, it was still too much of a fuss.

Besides, the caravans, pedestrians and rich people waiting to enter the city were all in a rush. They couldn't use the [Water Concealment Spell] in front of everyone, could they?

"There are a lot of people gathered at the city gates over there. It seems to be very lively. Let's go take a look!"

Since he couldn't think of a good way to enter the city at the moment, Li Yi decided to accept Leng Linglong's suggestion. The two walked towards the city gate.

Walking to the city gate, he saw that it was a notice posted there. Several soldiers with swords, spears and armor were guarding the entrance.

"A thousand miles of drought in Yuesu City. Now, I have paid a huge sum of money to seek special talents. I will eliminate the drought!"

"This announcement has been changed again, it's already so expensive!" "However, I think it's still in suspense. It's not like there haven't been many capable people coming and going in our city in the past six months, but I haven't seen anyone who has been able to relieve the drought." Many people from the pedestrians traveling to and from the city were notifying the vicinity and discussing amongst themselves.

"Linglong, did you see that? The list says that as long as you accept the list, you can enter the city and head to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss the matter of resisting the drought.

Li Yi looked at the announcement and winked at Leng Linglong.

"Then, let's accept the results?"

Leng Linglong smiled as she understood.

"That's a must!"

This method was much simpler and more effective than the [Water Concealment Spell]. It also allowed them to enter the mayor's mansion as an ordinary mutated human. It was more beneficial for them in investigating the situation and finding out the details of the drought.

Li Yi smiled, pulled Leng Linglong two steps forward, and tore off the notice with a "Hua La" sound.

"Someone has announced it!"

"It's a young man and a young woman. They're both capable people again!"

"They're too young. I wonder what they are originally like, to actually dare to accept the results!"

"What do you know? You can't judge a book by its cover, you can't judge a book by its cover. If he dares to challenge the board, he must have some skills!"

The surrounding crowd immediately burst into an uproar as they discussed amongst themselves. This list of names had already been hung for half a year, and it had always been seen by a lot of people. There really weren't many who dared to uncover the name list.

Looking at the two's appearance, the man was dressed in a tight green suit with a heroic air, the woman in a tight pink dress. Looking at the two's appearance, the man was dressed in a tight green suit with a heroic air, the woman in a tight pink dress.

"Where are you two from? From the looks of it, you don't look like you belong to our Tianfeng Empire. Why did you take down this list?"

The soldiers guarding the Recruitment List had long been irritated by the scorching sun above their heads. When they saw Li Yi and Wang Lu were so young, their first impression was that they were here to cause trouble, they couldn't help but yell.

"When the two of us travelled here, we found that the drought here was extremely unusual. I've learned a few spells in the past. Even though my mana isn't too high, I would like to do my best to help your city. Now that we have already taken down the name list, can we go to the City Lord's Mansion? "

Li Yi's words immediately caused the few soldiers to discuss amongst themselves.

"So he's a travelling person from outside the city. He can't be here to swindle food and drink again, right?"

"Exactly, looking at how young they are, what ability do they have to deal with drought and ask for rain? I think they're just spouting nonsense again!"
