There are very few pedestrians on the streets, and those who do pass by are drenched in sweat, their expressions weary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This year's summer is unexpectedly hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, since May or June, the year has been in a state of drought with no rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a drought is a rare, and even exceptionally dire, matter for the State of Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the world today, seven great powers stand side by side, and the State of Han is undoubtedly the weakest among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being weak means that its troops, horses, and provisions are far less formidable than those of other nations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this great drought continues, it means that this year's autumn harvest may result in absolutely nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the city of Xinzheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King of Han, located within the Wang Gong, has also realized the impact brought about by this great drought. He is actively having people go out to provide disaster relief—whether by digging wells, diverting water, or other means—determined to save the crops and hold out until the time of the autumn harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, these measures have had little effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no other choice, the King of Han has had to seek help from those of the alchemist sort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King of Han firmly believes in the way of ghosts and gods. Unlike some who keep alchemists at a distance, he still has some trust in them. He believes that under heavy rewards, there must be brave men, and that he will certainly be able to summon the strange people and extraordinary talents hidden among the common folk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he issued a bounty of ten thousand taels of gold, and then posted the edict on the city walls, waiting for capable people and extraordinary talents to come and claim the edict to pray for rain for him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wealth moves the hearts of men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the bounty of ten thousand taels of gold, there were indeed many people among the commoners who were tempted. They stepped forward one after another and tore down the edict. Unfortunately, before they could even receive the reward, they were beheaded by the Grand General Ji Ji Wuye, who was under the King of Han, for failing to bring about rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also after their deaths that, to prevent others from passing themselves off as experts and wasting time, Ji Ji Wuye hung their heads on the city walls, right alongside the edict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is currently the height of summer, with the scorching sun burning the earth. The heads have been hanging on the city walls for only a few days before they began to stink and rot, with flies circling around them, emitting a buzzing sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A foul stench permeates the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, there were some commoners who liked to hang around this area when they had nothing to do, watching to see if any greenhorns would go to claim the edict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, because of the foul-smelling heads, they have all avoided the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this day, two soldiers were guarding the city gate, bored to death. Smelling the stench coming from nearby, they couldn't help but grumble in their hearts about the Grand General who came up with the idea of hanging the heads here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if you want to make an example of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should at least have pickled the heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you know how much they stink?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at this moment, one soldier suddenly noticed something flying past his eyes. He subconsciously rubbed his eyes, thinking his vision had blurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Focusing his gaze again, he discovered a scroll of cloth dancing in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cloth scroll looked very familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was none other than the bounty edict posted on the city wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the edict flew straight into the hands of a young Daoist dressed in a green Daoist robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand General's Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the main hall, a robust man sat on the main seat. Beside him were two beautiful women; one was feeding him fruit, while the other held out her jade-like hand to catch the fruit pits he spat out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Ji Wuye looked at the man in the green shirt who had been brought into the hall by the soldiers, showing no signs of restraint, and said in a cold voice, \"You are the one who accepted the bounty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should know what the consequences will be if you cannot pray for rain for His Majesty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in the green shirt spoke calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, a trace of surprise couldn't help but appear in Ji Ji Wuye's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, there had been no shortage of people who accepted the bounty, but after he said those words, those fellows would either talk about other things or show signs of wanting to retreat. But having already accepted the bounty, it wasn't so easy to back out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bounty is no child's play; it is an edict from His Majesty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, after they failed to pray for rain, he decisively gave those fellows death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man before him, however, was calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, in the end, he could not change the outcome of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Ji Wuye absolutely did not believe in the likes of alchemists. Although he appeared reckless, he was actually extremely meticulous; otherwise, he could not have become a Grand General with power over the court and the public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things like summoning wind and rain are impossible to achieve with human strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you already know, then go down and wait. Tomorrow, I will take you into the palace to meet His Majesty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although a few swindlers had already been executed earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after all, it involved a bounty of ten thousand taels of gold, and this great drought had not yet ended. Now that someone had accepted the bounty, both in reason and sentiment, he had to be taken into the palace to see His Majesty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Ji Wuye watched as the young man was about to be taken away to rest by the servants of his mansion. Suddenly, he remembered another question and asked the man, whose appearance could be called handsome: \"By the way, what is your name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Su Xuan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guest room in Ji Ji Wuye's mansion was decorated quite elegantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, in Su Xuan's view, it was much more luxurious than the guest rooms of many taverns in Xinzheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was not surprising, as it was, after all, Ji Ji Wuye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man who, for the sake of pleasure, even built a towering Sparrow Pavilion in the city, and was so overbearing that he demanded a princess from the King of Han, forcing the King of Han to marry the princess off to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come to think of it, the princess was originally supposed to marry his son!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was it because his son met with some accident, so to fulfill his son's dying wish, he decided to marry the princess himself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the plot in the original work, Su Xuan couldn't help but grumble in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan is a transmigrator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been in this world for several years. At first, he thought it was the end of the Warring States period and was thinking about how to survive in the chaotic times. By accident, he learned about part of the world's structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the world, seven powerful nations stood, and there were the Hundred Schools of Thought, contending with each other; these were nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if names like the Luo Wang organization and the Daliang Armor-Piercing Gate were mixed in, it made this end of the Warring States period seem not so serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also at that time that Su Xuan realized he had transmigrated into the world of an anime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of his understanding of the plot, he was exceptionally greedy for the techniques of the Yin-Yang School and the Daoist School. Therefore, after understanding his situation, he thought about going to the Yin-Yang School or the Daoist School to become an apprentice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before he could take action, his cheat awakened first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, a total of one hundred and eight stars appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, thirty-six large ones corresponded to the number of the Heavenly Spirits, and seventy-two small ones corresponded to the arts of the Earthly Fiends!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By a stroke of luck, he lit up the first star among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, he obtained a technique, named—\"Guidance\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guidance can deeply benefit one's health and prolong life, and it must be used in conjunction with regulating Qi, allowing the blood vessels to flow, eliminating a hundred diseases; it is the technique of Qi Refining and breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, this is a technique for cultivating immortality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Su Xuan decisively gave up the idea of going to the Daoist or Yin-Yang Schools to become an apprentice. After all, even if he wanted to join these two schools, they might not necessarily be willing to accept him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly imitated the True Person Wenshi of the Daoist School, building a grass hut in the deep mountains, and began his path of cultivating immortality.\u003C\u002Fp>",1560,"2026-06-17T03:35:52.916Z","2026-06-17T04:29:29.394Z","Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","6fa59480f8a105411e8f69b06fa8769456522c57bc9c44d9c969d38a18e2c45b","great-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-chapter-2",null,617,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreat-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-cover.jpg"]
