From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 13 Don’t Lose Face for Our Shinto (Please Read)

You Ming has been practicing magic day after day these days, and his control over magic power has become more perfect. At the same time, he is also increasing his total magic power little by little.

LV2:1400/1400.

With the strengthening of his physique and the successful complete transformation of his magic, the upper limit of his mana was once again increased.

At the same time, he also used the cheat code to replenish his mana to the upper limit, which also meant that his seven orifices, namely [eyes], [ears], [mouth], and [nose], were all open.

All he needed now was to refine his evil spirit and condense the mysterious light before he could step into the next realm.

Only with the protection of Xuan Guang can one truly travel freely and be called a fairy.

At this level, the effect of [Flowing Cloud Body Washing Technique] on him was almost zero. He simply dispersed the little bit of flowing cloud magic power in his body. In this way, when he turned the compass, all the magic power gains would be added to Jiang Hai's magic power.

With this thought, You Ming smiled. Then he moved his body, leaving a trail of shadows in the air, and headed towards Fenghe.

He used [Flowing Water and Moving Clouds] all the way and walked for more than ten miles, which consumed more than a hundred points of magic power in his body. He just used a compass to restore all of it.

After working hard for half a month, the casting of these three spells became almost instinctive for him. He could even use a compass to consume and replenish his mana at any time.

He swam to the center of the Feng River and found that it was much more lively than he had imagined.

Streams of water vapor rose up, transforming into the phantoms of mountains and rivers. As one got closer, one could even spot illusory streets and buildings.

The City God Temple in Changning County was filled with bursts of red light, which dispersed into countless rays and turned into lanterns hanging in the sky, like nails nailing a huge curtain to the void.

Countless gods, monks, and monsters jumped from the shore into the shadows. Their originally solid figures quickly turned into illusory images once they entered the illusory scene.

It was as if he had become a figure moving on the screen.

"Little Carp God, why haven't I seen you these days?"

As You Ming just arrived in front of the illusion, a shadow covered him.

When he looked up, he saw a tall god holding a spiritual lamp floating in the air, looking down at him.

You Ming recognized the other person. It was the Night Wandering God that Daoyuan Lingshan had informed him about last time.

"I'm planning to go play in the Small Spirit Realm, but I'm also afraid of losing face for our Shinto sect, so I've been practicing hard at home these days."

The little carp said shyly.

"Hahahaha, there's nothing to be ashamed of. We, the Shinto people, are all watching here. If anyone bullies you, the next time this small spiritual realm opens, we will directly block the places of that person and his fellow disciples."

"We Shintos don't bear grudges, but we won't tolerate bullying from those shabby monks."

The Night Wanderer reached out and patted the little carp's shoulder hard, laughing and saying.

"I'll tell you a secret. This year, Qinglian Jun of Bi Bo Lake will also be attending the ceremony. This deity is extremely generous. It's said that she personally possessed the Xuanyuan Water Spirit. As long as you can defeat the Xuanling, the quality of the Xuanshui Essence you obtain will definitely far exceed that of previous years."

"If I can come out on top among all the cultivators, I might get another reward."

After Night Wanderer became familiar with Little Carp, he also whispered some inside information to him.

"Qinglianjun?"

Hearing this name, You Ming was secretly surprised. Generally, the title of a god is followed by the word "Jun", which is often a certain God King, which means that the other party has at least the fifth rank of status.

The City God of Changning County was only of the seventh rank. While the Canglang Small Spirit Realm was certainly a major event for Changning County, it was unlikely to alarm a figure of such rank.

That's really strange.

This trace of doubt only flashed through You Ming's mind. He was just a small character from the ninth rank. Why should he care about so many things?
Even if there is something behind this, it has nothing to do with me.

As he spoke to the Night Wanderer, he stepped into the illusory light and shadow ahead.

The light and shadow around them changed, and the next moment, the two of them appeared in a world of ink and wash.

Beneath them, a vast expanse of white space, varying shades of ink spread out in the distance, transforming into a continuous mountain landscape. Occasionally, a few faint ripples bloom in the white space, revealing the presence of water.

"Little carp, work hard and don't bring shame to our Shinto sect."

The Night Wanderer patted You Ming, and his figure suddenly dispersed, and the next moment he appeared on a stand.

At this moment, the stands were crowded with people, whether they were local gods or monks from nearby sects, all crowded here to watch the fighting scenes in the small spiritual realm.

However, people inside the small spiritual realm cannot sense the existence of these people.

Some weak little monsters were shouting to buy some food, hoping to take the opportunity to earn some food.

"Little tree demon, quickly bring me a pear. I'm thirsty."

Ye Youshen found a place to sit down familiarly and waved to someone not far away.

A huge pear tree demon lowered its head obediently and stretched out a branch, on which hung a plump and juicy pear.

The Night Wanderer plucked the pear and began to devour it, until the juices flowed out. After he had eaten most of it, he reached into his bosom and pulled out a pile of loose copper coins, which he threw back to the pear tree.

The pear tree was like a living person, with its branches and leaves curled up to hold all the copper coins.

"Deduct the money for the pears, and send the rest to me at the betting station. Hmm... I'm betting on Li Zhengyuan from Mingyue Temple to take first place."

The Night Wanderer ate the pear clean in a few bites, opened his sleeves to wipe the juice from his face, and then walked to the side.

Several bird monsters nearby came forward to flatter them and fanned the air with their wings.

The Night Wandering God looked around lazily. During the days when this small spiritual realm was opened, all the gods in the county were taking a break. It was really pleasant to have no time to deal with official business.

From this angle, he could clearly see You Ming in the small spiritual realm.

"Brother, although we are both officials in the same place, and although I really want you to take the top spot, I am not rich, and I can't throw away my salary."

"Although it's impossible for a true dragon to be born in our rural area, since Li Zhengyuan from Mingyue Temple was able to lure Qinglian Jun here, his fate must be strong. You are definitely no match for him."

"When this matter is settled, I'll treat you to a drink, bro."

Night Wanderer chuckled in his heart. His job was to inspect and rectify corruption, so he knew a lot of inside information. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent all his belongings to bet that Li Zhengyuan would get first place.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, although Li Zhengyuan of Mingyue Temple is talented, he is still young. However, those who entered the Lesser Spirit Realm this time were many "old men" who had been trapped in the [Awakening] realm for many years. They were often more proficient in magic, had higher accumulation of magic power, and naturally had stronger combat effectiveness.

But he knew very well that Li Zhengyuan had a very good destiny. As long as he didn't die, he would definitely be a prominent figure in Bingzhou in the future. Even Qinglian Jun had to place a bet in advance.
