Looking at the several "Transportation Ships" of Renhuang Pavilion that were about to disappear on the horizon, Wu Wang pondered a serious question in his heart.

[How many people in the Ten Calamities Palace can I play with?]

"Master."

The Great Elder stood by with his hands behind his back and smiled, "The Ten Calamities Palace still underestimated you after all. They only sent such subordinates and even hesitated to send out an elder."

"The Ten Calamities Palace actually doesn't have a deep foundation. If we consider it as a sect, it is just a newly rising sect force."

Wu Wang stretched lazily and smiled, "Let's go back. This time, it delayed the Great Elder's cultivation."

The Great Elder said warmly, "The safety of the Master is the top priority of our sect. Even if I haven't closed my door to enlightenment, I will prioritize protecting the Master."

"Thank you, Great Elder."

"You're welcome."

Dongfang Mumu on the side tilted her head slightly, unable to understand why these two guys were so familiar with each other and still being polite.

They came here in a hurry, but when they were going back, they were not in a hurry. They rode on a white cloud, joking, drinking, and enjoying tea, as if they were on a spring outing.

Mao Aowu followed the large ships back to the main hall of Renhuang Pavilion.

Renhuang Pavilion sent dozens of experts and hundreds of immortal soldiers to escort the evil people from the Ten Calamities Palace, so there was no need to worry about their safety.

On the way back, Wu Wang and the Great Elder talked about the opening of a new treasure shop.

The Great Elder had done some research before and recommended more than ten immortal cultivators who had stagnated in their cultivation but were good at socializing as the shopkeepers of the first batch of new treasure shops.

Elder Wang had been managing the treasure shop in Fuyu City for several years, being meticulous and without any negligence. Together with Jia Zi, he was promoted by Wu Wang to the deputy hall master of the Lost Treasure Hall.

As they chatted, the Great Elder set up a small range barrier around him to ensure that their conversation would not be overheard by others.

"Master, this is for you."

The Great Elder handed over a storage bracelet. Wu Wang was startled at first, but immediately understood when he received the bracelet. The Great Elder secretly intercepted the storage treasures of the evil people from the Ten Calamities Palace today.

Wu Wang had been wanting the blood of fierce beasts, and the Great Elder had always remembered.

"Thank you, Great Elder."

Wu Wang said in a low voice, feeling warm in his heart.

Although he was currently focused on dealing with the Evil God, he shouldn't let go of these scattered divine powers.

The Great Elder smiled and took out an abacus, gently flicking it for a while, and said, "Master, I have calculated it. If we rely solely on opening more branches, it is unrealistic to establish the 'Master of Refining Artifacts Alliance' in a short period of time.

Taking three hundred treasure shops as an example, we need at least two hundred years to operate and stabilize.

But as you said before, we only have a hundred years or even a few decades to prepare..."

"You have a good heart, Great Elder."

Wu Wang praised warmly and said, "I didn't explain it clearly that day and was interrupted by Elder Jia. We don't have to have three hundred shops. Dozens of them are enough. We need to ensure that we have a certain area in the Human Realm, such as the southeast, east, or the most prosperous central area, to establish a reputation.

Then we can ask Renhuang Pavilion to support us and establish a set of standards and a fixed operating method. We can start with a Treasure Shop Alliance and invite other treasure shops to join.

Behind each treasure shop is actually a sect, so it is important to have a good relationship with them.

In this way, we can increase our influence in the shortest possible time.

After that, we can hold a grand refining competition, set generous rewards, and invite several transcendent realm experts from the Human Realm to preside over the competition. The competition can be held every ten years, no, every three years. The slogan can be 'Seeking Unique Treasures'.

After three or four times, our standards can be promoted and our influence can be established. We will have enough master refiners, and the Master of Refining Artifacts Alliance will naturally come into being."

The Great Elder pondered carefully and savored Wu Wang's words. Soon, he clasped his hands and said, "Master, I admire your insight. It seems that Elder Jia's strategy was too narrow-minded."

"Elder Jia's goal is to earn spirit stones, while our goal is to protect the Human Realm. They are different."

Wu Wang smiled and said, "Exactly. In the future, most of the profits from the sect's industries will be invested in these matters... But everyone's treatment will definitely be better than now."

"It's enough, it's enough."

The Great Elder waved his hand repeatedly and sighed, "As long as the resources for cultivation are sufficient, if they have too many spirit stones in their hands, their minds will be distracted."

"You're right. Good treatment can't be easily reduced."

Wu Wang pondered for a moment and said, "We can give them more pills and spiritual herbs to assist them in their cultivation."

The Great Elder nodded with a smile and discussed the sect's reward system with Wu Wang.

The Great Elder had not forgotten the eight strategies that Wu Wang had given before. He had been guiding the destruction of the sect in the direction indicated by those eight strategies, making it bigger and stronger.

In a corner of the white cloud, Dongfang Mumu sat there hugging her knees, lost in thought.

Wu Wang ignored her, and Lin Suqing was not by his side. Dongfang Mumu felt a bit lonely, but she just hugged herself and didn't say much.

...

The white cloud descended back to the Destruction Sect, and the various experts went their separate ways.

Wu Wang took Dongfang Mumu back to Elder Miao's small building. The latter flashed and went to the second floor without saying hello to Wu Wang.

"What's wrong with Dongfang Mumu..."

Wu Wang chuckled and continued to ponder about the Ten Calamities Palace.

"Could it be that the actions of the Ten Calamities Palace this time are also part of the Heavenly Palace's 'showing weakness' strategy?"

After a brief calculation, Wu Wang couldn't figure out the reason and returned to his quiet room to meditate and comprehend the changes of the stars.So, after a few days, Mao Aowu rushed back to report the disposal results of the group.

What embarrassed Renhuang Pavilion was that the eight spies who were strictly guarded by Shilian Ying had died tragically in the dungeon before they could be interrogated.

"The cause of death was severe poisoning, and each person had a thin silver needle inserted into their bodies."

Mao Aowu said, "The poison on the silver needle has also been identified. It is refined from the poisonous stingers of a kind of ten thousand-year evil beast, which is extremely rare.

It's a pity that on the way back, I couldn't get anything out of their mouths."

"What a pity?"

Wu Wang smiled and said, "At least those eight people didn't need Renhuang Pavilion to take action against them, let alone expose the fact that Renhuang Pavilion's main hall harbored spies from the Ten Calamities Palace."

Mao Aowu nodded slowly and said in a low voice, "The Pavilion has already started self-investigation, and the Pavilion Master was furious when he heard about this."

Wu Wang pondered for a moment and did not comment on this.

He asked again, "What about Wan Cai Dao Ren?"

"He still wants to die."

Mao Aowu said, "He has already fulfilled Renhuang Pavilion's request and has spread the atrocities of the Ten Evil Gods against the foreign races everywhere. Now he is waiting for you, the Sect Master, to appear and give him a good fight."

Wu Wang shook his head slightly and sighed, "Such a stubborn person, there is something lovable about him."

Mao Aowu stood silently on the side for a while, then smiled and said, "Sect Master, when I came back, Lord Liu asked me when you would report. He is already prepared."

"Three... or five months later."

"Is it three months or five months?" Mao Aowu asked, "Lord Liu asked me to send back an exact message."

"Five months."

Wu Wang waved his hand and said, "Alright, I still need to cultivate. Mao, you can go and handle the pressure from Renhuang Pavilion. Since I have promised someone, I won't break my word."

"Yes, I understand."

Mao Aowu bowed and left, considering the wording of the message on the transmission jade talisman, and left the small building.

Wu Wang took out a few drops of Evil God's blood from the storage treasure of the new Divine Child and let them float around him, slowly absorbing their divine power.

He actually wanted to go to Renhuang Pavilion earlier, after all, he still had to collect the divine power of the Evil God's nephew.

But Wu Wang was also worried.

His current level of Star God's bloodline power was not high. If he absorbed a bit of the original divine power of the Evil God, he wouldn't be able to bear it. Wouldn't he be laughed at by the old seniors for no reason?

It's better to be practical and make the foundation stronger.

For a while, the immortal light surrounded the small building, and strands of spiritual energy hovered around, occasionally accompanied by the roar of evil beasts and the cries of flying birds.

Wu Wang's clothes quickly turned into powder.

Fortunately, the immortal light around him was too dense, and there was an outer formation covering it, so the golden scales that appeared on his body did not expose him.

This phenomenon continued for two months, and the golden scales around Wu Wang disappeared. The drops of Evil God's blood turned into dust and scattered.

He stood up from the meditation cushion, and his blood and qi surged in his body like waves crashing against the shore.

He clenched his fist slightly, and electric arcs seemed to flicker at his fingertips.

"The power of the Star God's bloodline has not been affected, but it has become much stronger directly," Wu Wang murmured to himself, "I wonder if this bloodline power has different levels. What level am I now?"

Continue to cultivate, the Dao realm is the foundation.

Even if the strength is strong, if the lifespan is too short, it is useless.

Although Shen Nong advised him to focus on rapidly improving his combat power for now, how could the old senior who had lived for countless years understand the pain of the strong in the North Wilderness!

So, Wu Wang meditated quietly for more than a month.

When his body adapted to the new power, he took out a wine jar containing the blood of the Evil God and began to absorb the divine power within it.

In comparison, the blood of the Evil God was more powerful!

Wu Wang was also looking forward to the corpse of the Evil God.

Five months was not long. For Wu Wang at this time, it was just a few moments of meditation.

- The lifespan greatly increased, and the perception of the passage of time would also be dulled.

During this period, Lin Qi, the old aunt, and Ji Mo came out of seclusion one after another.

Su Qing forcefully entered the mid-stage of Spiritual Tranquility, and her cultivation progress was quite rapid. It was expected that she would become an immortal before the age of one hundred.

Lin Qi had half of his foot in the Immortal realm.

At this time, he practiced both sword and fire paths, similar to Wu Wang. He focused on the path of sword control and supplemented it with the path of fire, not putting all his hopes on the Yan Emperor's command.

After Lin Qi came to greet Wu Wang, he began to seclude himself and prepare to become an immortal. It was estimated that he would break through to the Elemental Immortal realm within half a year.

After Su Qing came out of seclusion, she stayed by Wu Wang's side and took care of daily chores.

Wu Wang asked her to seclude herself for a while longer to consolidate her realm, but she just agreed with a few words and continued to revolve around Wu Wang.

Ji Mo, on the other hand, immediately came to bid farewell to Wu Wang after coming out of seclusion.

This guy said to Wu Wang, "Wu Xiong! I have decided to start a family!"

Wu Wang sprayed the honey tea he had just drunk onto Lin Suqing's long skirt and coughed for a while.

"What's going on?"

Wu Wang stared at Ji Mo and scolded, "Do you have someone you've been interested in all this time? Why would you go to the Flower House? Ji Gongzi, you're amazing!"

"Wu Xiong, please don't misunderstand. I didn't have anyone I was interested in before, and I still don't now!"

Ji Mo moved a wooden chair in front of Wu Wang and looked at him with burning eyes.

Wu Wang dodged backward and whispered, "Is it a man?"

"A man? What man?"

Wu Wang smiled and said, "Ah, forget it, explain clearly what's going on."

Ji Mo said excitedly, "I understand now, Wu Xiong! The Emperor is right!

I have been reckless for so long, and it's time to settle down. Instead of seeking enlightenment in the Flower House, it's better to cultivate with my own wife!"

Wu Wang blinked his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Are you going on a blind date?"

"Yes!"Ji Mo smiled and said, "I have already sent a letter to my family, and I have mentioned the kind of woman I am looking for. This time, I will listen to my parents and the matchmaker. As long as we are attracted to each other, it will be fine."

"This is a lifelong matter, don't treat it lightly."

"It's not a joke, how can it be a joke?"

Ji Mo said seriously, "Getting married and starting a family is my current goal. I will not make hasty decisions. If I meet someone I love at first sight, I will do my best to win her heart.

In any case, I will take my future partner seriously. As long as she doesn't mind my past recklessness, it will be a great fortune for me."

Wu Wang: ...

Is the power of a few words from the elder really that great?

Wu Wang suddenly felt that he needed to take Emperor Ren's influence on the Human Realm seriously.

"You have to think it through. Once you get married, you can't go to the Flower Tower anymore."

"I have thought it through."

Ji Mo smiled, sighed lightly, and said slowly:

"Actually, it was after the ambush when my grandmother was chasing those gods that I felt like something was missing.

What my grandmother hoped for the most was for me to start a family.

I used to think that I had achieved success in cultivation and could not escape the fate of loyalty and martyrdom in the Human Realm. I just wanted to indulge myself and pursue temporary pleasures.

My Ji family has been following Emperor Ren's orders and fighting for generations, loyal and martyred. No matter what, I should let my grandmother and them be at ease.

Emperor Ren's words awakened me. For me, what is more important than starting a family?"

"Then you must treat her well and not let the lady down!"

"How could I?"

Ji Mo said loudly, "I am the most considerate and caring person. I won't let my future wife suffer any grievances!"

Wu Wang raised his fist and lightly hit Ji Mo's shoulder, waving his hand:

"Go on, let your family come to pick you up or ask the elders to send you back. Be safe on the way."

"They will send someone soon," Ji Mo said, "I may not be able to return to the Mie Sect for a short time after going back this time..."

"It's okay, I'll wait to have a feast at your Ji family."

"Then I'll try my best to come back soon!"

"And don't make yourself suffer. It all depends on fate."

Ji Mo clenched his fist and lightly touched Wu Wang's fist. The two smiled at each other, understanding each other without words.

...

Two days after Ji Mo left, Wu Wang also embarked on a journey north.

It was because Liu Bairen urged him too much, asking him to hurry to the Ren Emperor Pavilion to report; Mao Aowu almost knelt in front of Wu Wang, asking the Sect Master to go to the Ren Emperor Pavilion to register early.

Is it really just for registration?

Wu Wang naturally didn't believe it. He seemed to see the pile of files in front of Liu Bairen...

This time, he still traveled lightly, with only the Great Elder and Dongfang Mumu as his escorts.

Lin Suqing also followed, taking care of the young master's daily life.

Because there had been a serious incident in the Ren Emperor Pavilion before, where eight Sinful Immortals died in the dungeon, they were being cautious on this trip.

In Lin Suqing's storage treasure, there were ten large barrels of spring water, and they didn't even use the water source of the Ren Emperor Pavilion to make tea.

But they never expected that their Master would come as agreed, but in return, they received cold treatment and rejection!

In the main hall of the Ren Emperor Pavilion, Liu Bairen's roar could be heard:

"What? Master Wuwang wants to see me? I won't see him!

Tell him! This Pavilion Master is busy soaking his feet and won't see him!

Let him go to the Immortal Mortal Hall to report! After soaking his feet, this Pavilion Master still needs a back rub, so I won't see him!"

Wu Wang just smiled faintly, took out a folding fan and gently shook it in front of him. Guided by several experts from the Ren Emperor Pavilion, he headed towards the Immortal Mortal Hall.

The Great Elder frowned and said, "This Pavilion Master seems to be in a hurry. Sect Master, please don't mind."

Lin Suqing complained unhappily, "He was the one who asked Young Master to come, but now he's putting on airs."

"Be careful with your words, Suqing," Wu Wang smiled, "This is the Ren Emperor Pavilion, and the Pavilion Master has the highest authority. It's normal for him to show some official power."

"Ah," Lin Suqing replied, and Dongfang Mumu's eyes wandered around, thinking about something.

The words "Immortal Mortal" in the Immortal Mortal Hall refer to "handling immortal and mortal affairs."

This was also the busiest place in the Ren Emperor Pavilion on ordinary days. The spacious hall had hundreds of tables, and immortal beings were busy with their work, with many immortal soldiers coming and going.

The three of them waited outside, and Wu Wang was taken to a corner of the hall; there was a side door with three big characters written on it:

[Entrance to the Pavilion].

Wu Wang was calm and leisurely, looking around with interest, shaking the folding fan in his hand, quite at ease.

Just as he was about to step into the side door, he saw another young cultivator being brought here.

This person looked somewhat familiar...

Wu Wang frowned slightly, pretending not to see him, and entered the side door first.

Xue Kailong, a member of the Xue family, had a slight conflict during the ceremony of accepting disciples in the Mysterious Female Sect.

After this Xue family young master entered, he also looked stunned when he saw Wu Wang, then bowed and greeted him, without saying much.

Wu Wang put away the folding fan and returned the greeting.

The immortal who led Wu Wang here said in a warm voice, "Old Master, please register these two young people."

In the corner, the old man in a yellow robe trembled and looked up, beckoning Wu Wang and Xue Kailong to sit in front of him.

The old man asked them a few questions and made a simple registration.

"Wu Wang, Xue Kailong, do you have a letter of introduction?"

"Yes," Xue Kailong took out a jade token from his sleeve and placed it on the tray in front of the old man. "Please take a look, senior."

Wu Wang also took out the scroll given by Senior Shen Nong and placed it on the other side of the tray.

This Xue Kailong seemed much calmer today.

The old man arranged the letters of introduction without opening them. They should be presented to the high-level members of the Ren Emperor Pavilion.The old man asked again, "What are your expectations for your positions after joining the pavilion?"

"Me!"

"I want..."

"Let's have Daoist Wuwang go first," Xue Kailong said with a smile, making a gesture of invitation.

Wu Wang cupped his hands in thanks, opened his folding fan, and gently waved it in front of him, speaking slowly:

"I want a leisurely position, where I don't have to do much, the treatment won't be bad, I can walk freely in the pavilion, get some benefits when good things happen, and see the pavilion master whenever I want.

Yes, that would be enough."

The old man looked up at Wu Wang.

Xue Kailong's mouth twitched slightly, looking at Wu Wang with a mix of amusement and disbelief.

In Xue Kailong's spiritual platform, a cloud of black energy was circling around his Elemental Infant, transmitting this scene to the Great Wasteland in the Southwest Region, countless miles away.

In a dark cave dwelling, a middle-aged man in a dark gold robe sat quietly.

Hearing Wu Wang's words, the corners of the man's mouth also revealed a slight sneer.

Is this it? The Master Wuwang, who was said to be extremely difficult to deal with in the letters from the Ten Gods Temple, is this it?

So arrogant, so flamboyant, and so dismissive of others!

Humph, he could easily be outdone by the toy he just found.

In the Ren Emperor Pavilion, Xue Kailong said loudly:

"Elder, please give me the hardest and most tiring work. Although my cultivation is not high, I am willing to contribute my strength to the Ren Emperor Pavilion."

The old man immediately showed a gentle smile, asked the two to wait, and went to the back of the hall with a tray.

So, a moment later.

Xue Kailong stood at the entrance of the main hall with a somewhat dazed look, looking at the appointment letter in his hand, the four words 'Gatekeeper Immortal Soldier' written on it were so glaring.

From the other side came the sound of conversation, and Xue Kailong couldn't help but turn his head to look.

"Young Master, what task did you get?"

"Ah, it's a fifth-rank position called Inspector, although the rank is not high, it doesn't matter."

Wu Wang handed over the jade token, sighed somewhat gloomily: "It seems that I really have to work."

Xue Kailong almost smashed the appointment letter in his hand on the ground and stomped his feet.

And the Evil God who was watching this scene through his Elemental Infant, remained silent for a while in his cold and dark cave dwelling.

In the end, he spat out a curse word.
