Chapter 609: Deep Fortune

If it had been constables or government office runners coming, Boss Hong would still have had the guts to resist a little.

But Lu Yang was different.

Who in the Great Xia didn't know Lu Yang? Cultivators knew he had fought to a draw with the young Sect Leader of the Heavenly Court Sect during the Golden Core stage, and the common folk knew he was the protagonist of "The Legend of the Profound Heaven Sect: Lu Yang Chapter."

The Five Great Immortal Sects—what kind of high and mighty powers were those? Immortal cultivation experts were as numerous as clouds. It was said that within the Immortal Sects, they didn't even bother to subdivide the levels of the Qi Refining stage. Their own Bamboo Leaf Sect's highest-cultivation ancestor was only at the Nascent Soul stage; they weren't even fit to carry the shoes of the Immortal Sects.

Not to mention Lu Yang of the Profound Heaven Sect. This was a peerless genius who had served as the acting Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Sect at a young age, the nailed-down future Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Even the City Lord had to be polite when seeing Lu Yang, let alone him, a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator.

Meng Jingzhou glanced at the slightly smug Lu Yang and felt endless regret.

He had been a step too slow in announcing his name just now; even if he announced it now, the effect wouldn't be as good as Lu Yang's.

The young girl who had come out with Boss Hong was also given a huge fright by Lu Yang's name. It was actually the legendary Lu Tianjiao.

Compared to Lu Tianjiao, her own sweetheart didn't amount to much.

The two people standing next to Lu Tianjiao, judging by their positioning, should be of equal status to Lu Tianjiao, and both were very handsome, especially that monk, who was the most handsome of all.

"Are you looking at the pendant in my hand?"

Lu Yang: "..."

"That person had another requirement, saying I could only sell the pendants to mortals, not to cultivators."

"I'll confess, I'll confess everything!" Boss Hong said hurriedly.

Lu Yang squinted and smiled: "Boss Hong, surrendering isn't just as simple as giving up; you must also truthfully confess your actions."

"No problem, it's just that the refining technique is too lousy, far inferior to this Immortal's Yellow Millet Pillow."

"Pendant?" The Immortal Fairy, through Lu Yang's perspective, saw the pendant dangling in his hand. "Who refined this?"

"Ran into a bit of trouble, need to borrow your knowledge."

"Is there a problem with the pendant?"

"Yawn—what is it?"

"It, it was over a month ago, someone came to me and said they hoped I could help them sell a batch of pendants. Originally, I was unwilling, but the other party's cultivation was very high. If I refused, the outcome would be very dangerous, so I had to agree to that person's request."

The young girl considered which of the three she should choose.

"I, I don't know what their cultivation was."

The three of Lu Yang frowned; it seemed the person selling the pendants had a scheme, they just didn't know what the purpose was.

Lu Yang frowned: "Who was that person, what did they look like, what was their cultivation?"

"Fairy, wake up, stop cultivating." Lu Yang entered the Great Heroic Treasure Hall of the mental space and shook awake the Immortal Fairy who was cultivating the dream-entry spell.

"Where did the pendants you sold come from, and how many have been sold?"

And this Lu Tianjiao looked pretty good too.

"Ah? What's wrong? Did Yun girl attack?" The Immortal Fairy sat up from the lotus platform, dazed, her eyes half-open and half-closed.

"I, I don't know his name, he was thin and tall, like a bamboo pole."

"What about the target audience? Does it work on both mortals and cultivators?"

"Refined too crudely, it can only enter the dreams of mortals. The refining logic has no problems; if it were refined more finely, it could also enter the dreams of cultivators."

"If you insist on knowing what the problem is, it's that this pendant can record dreams."

"Record dreams?"

"Meaning, what dreams were had using the pendant, and what influence they had on the dream owner, can all be recorded."

Lu Yang couldn't figure out for a moment what the other party was trying to do.

Forget it, won't think about it, let the government solve it.

"Then who are you?" Lu Yang cast his gaze onto the pitiful-looking young girl.

"I, I am his junior sister, I just happened to be passing by and came to visit him." The young girl was frightened by Lu Yang's gaze.

"Oh, you two have an age difference of twenty years, coming to visit him late at night, a lone man and a lone woman alone in a room?"

"Yes, that's right."

Shi Chan took a step forward, chanted the True Word Mantra, and a huge golden Buddha character was imprinted on the girl's brow: "Female benefactor, please tell the truth."

Under the influence of the True Word Mantra, the girl told the purpose of her trip one by one: "I was asking Senior Brother Hong to kill a rival named Fuling..."

Lu Yang: "..."

Meng Jingzhou: "..."

How is it Miss Fuling again?

Since the matter was already clear, there was no need to stay here. Lu Yang left the Hong residence and found the patrolling constables on the main street.

"Constable, there's another case here!" Lu Yang greeted the other party; this was the same person to whom he had handed over the assassin and the robbery cultivator last night.

Unexpectedly, they met again here.

After Lu Yang explained the matter of the Hong residence clearly, the constable looked at Lu Yang as if he had seen a ghost.

Last night you sent over an attempted murderer, and tonight you've caught another group of attempted murderers?

The constable almost thought Lu Yang was an assassin from out of town who came here to expand his business, using the government's hands to eliminate local competitors.

Soon, the constable contacted his superiors, called for a large group of constables, and took everyone from the Hong residence to the government office for overnight interrogation.

Zhong's father and daughter, as witnesses and victims, also came to the government office.

"Master, is the matter over?" Zhong Ming said excitedly.

"Indeed, the matter concerning your daughter was caused by Kang Wei using a magic tool. Now that the truth has come to light, it depends on how the government handles it."

"Thank you so much!" How could Zhong Ming not be excited? The problem that had plagued him for a week was solved by the Master in one night. "Then this incense money..."

"Five hundred taels of silver."

For Zhong Ming, five hundred taels of silver was but a drop in the bucket, and he immediately took a one-thousand-tael silver note from his sleeve.

"Master, this is a small token of my appreciation."

"Too much." Shi Chan insisted on only accepting five hundred taels. Zhong Ming couldn't argue with the Master, so he could only take out a five-hundred-tael silver note and respectfully offered it.

The matter concluded, Shi Chan returned to the inn, not even looking at Miss Zhong.

"Going to Chunxiang Pavilion to hone your state of mind tonight?" Lu Yang smiled; following Shi Chan to perform rituals was truly eye-opening.

"Not so, only one night has passed, it is not yet the time when my carnal desires are strongest, it won't have the best honing effect. In my opinion, waiting three days is better."

"Sophisticated."

When the three returned to the inn, they happened to run into the Fuling sisters who had just returned.

"Eh, Master, you've returned quite late."

"Performing a ritual delayed some time. I see that you two benefactors haven't returned early either."

Fuling smiled until her eyes were only slits: "Good luck today, the client I couldn't negotiate with before was finally negotiated today. We talked about many details, and only after coming to my senses did I realize it was so late."

Shi Chan chanted an Amitabha: "Benefactor Fuling has deep fortune."

"Then I'll borrow the Master's auspicious words. However, today's matter was indeed very strange."

"I don't know what happened, but yesterday that client still proposed many excessive conditions, and today they changed their tune, saying something like 'just consider it doing good deeds,' and 'let's see if what the Master said works,' and so on." ===== CHAPTER 610 =====
