Rise to God with Life Skill Professions

Chapter 674 - 604: Affairs of the Capital (2)

Bai Lingfeng is elusive and is the Forbidden Land Golden Envoy. He only needs a definite answer from Bai Lingfeng.

Perhaps he can resolve these three large forbidden lands before controlling the Annihilation Divine Spear.

Li Moyun pondered for a moment and said, "I can give Mr. Qin an answer in no more than seven days, so Mr. Qin just needs to wait in the Evil Extermination Bureau for seven days."

He also knew that for Qin An to say such words, it must be a very urgent matter.

However, the Celestial Cloud Path is vast, and traveling back and forth will take a considerable amount of time, not to mention finding the elusive Bai Lingfeng.

Therefore, seven days is the shortest time he can offer; anything less would be impossible.

Qin An pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "Alright, seven days should be enough. I won’t disturb Mr. Li’s work then."

He came here to seek Bai Lingfeng, and since Li Moyun had given him a definite message, Qin An planned to go back and rest first.

During these seven days, he could also browse the records in the Confidential Library to temporarily improve his Scholar Profession proficiency a bit.

As Li Moyun saw Qin An preparing to leave, he suddenly came before Qin An, blocking his way.

Qin An furrowed his brows, showing a hint of confusion in his eyes: "Mr. Li, what do you mean by this?"

He had already achieved his purpose here.

Li Moyun had official duties, so he had no reason to stop him.

But now, not only did Li Moyun stop him, but he also showed a hint of difficulty on his face, making Qin An feel that there was more to this matter.

Li Moyun said with a complicated expression, "Mr. Qin, your matter has some progress. I would like Mr. Qin not to return just yet; I have some things pertaining to the capital I wish to discuss."

Upon hearing the mention of the capital, Qin An furrowed his brows even deeper.

He thought carefully for a moment, then returned to his seat, picked up a cup of tea from the table, and took a sip.

"Mr. Li, please speak directly. Does it concern the Third Prince?"

In this Evil Extermination Bureau, few people knew Li Moyun’s true identity, but Qin An was one of them.

He knew that Li Moyun was actually an informant planted in the Celestial Cloud Path by the Third Prince and was loyal to him.

Now that Li Moyun mentioned the capital, with a complex expression, Qin An suspected it might have something to do with the Third Prince.

Sure enough, after Qin An finished speaking, Li Moyun made no attempt to hide it. He sat opposite Qin An, nodded, confirming Qin An’s guess.

Qin An didn’t speak. He looked at the already empty teacup, poured another cup, and waited for Li Moyun to continue.

Li Moyun organized his thoughts a bit and then slowly said, "With Mr. Qin’s ability, if you can break through to the Unity Realm, it won’t be long before you can leave the Celestial Cloud Path."

Qin An suddenly raised his hand, interrupting, "Mr. Li, what do you mean by saying I’ll eventually leave the Celestial Cloud Path?"

As far as Qin An knew, reaching the Unity Realm provided the power of a Forbidden Land Golden Envoy, which was considered top-tier within the Celestial Cloud Path.

Yet Li Moyun said that once he reached the Unity Realm, he would leave the Celestial Cloud Path, which was intriguing.

Li Moyun paused slightly before continuing, "Mr. Qin may not know, but the Unity Realm is the pinnacle within the Celestial Cloud Path. For example, in the Evil Extermination Bureau, those who reach the Unity Realm can become powerful figures like the Mountain Patrol Golden Envoy."

"Those who become Forbidden Land Golden Envoys are few even within the Celestial Cloud Path. But before becoming a Forbidden Land Golden Envoy, one who reaches the Unity Realm must proceed to the capital to meet the Emperor of the Daqian Kingdom."

Upon hearing this phrase, Qin An looked enlightened, "I see, if I become a Unity Realm person, the first thing I must do is go to the capital to greet the Emperor of the Daqian Kingdom."

He understood Li Moyun’s point. If indeed as Li Moyun said, the matter was related to the capital.

After all, to travel to the capital to meet the Emperor wasn’t a small matter.

Li Moyun continued, "Every Unity Realm individual must go to the capital to meet the Emperor, and this gathering includes all Unity Realm individuals of the Daqian Kingdom, among which there are countless talents."

"Precisely because of the abundance of talent, this gathering is no trivial matter and involves open and covert contests among the three Princes."

Saying this, Li Moyun’s eyes showed a hint of complexity.

Currently, he was only at the Tripod Aspiration Realm, but he was a confidant of the Third Prince.

He hoped to reach the Unity Realm to see the legendary capital and meet the true ruler of the Daqian Kingdom.

But he was keenly aware that all this required reaching the threshold of power to qualify for such a journey.

Qin An slightly furrowed his brows.

From Li Moyun’s tone, he perceived an additional meaning.

"In other words, if I reach the Unity Realm and go to the capital to meet the Emperor, I would inevitably get involved in the royal struggle."

By carefully considering Li Moyun’s words, one could gather some clues.

Each gathering with the Emperor involved the entire Daqian Kingdom’s Unity Realm cultivators, and every new Unity Realm cultivator was considered a top-notch talent within the Daqian Kingdom.

The three Princes were all competing for the position of Crown Prince and would never forgo the opportunity to recruit these talents.

Li Moyun nodded, "That’s right, which is why I’m telling Mr. Qin, if indeed Mr. Qin has the chance to reach the Unity Realm and go to the capital to meet the Emperor, you must exercise extreme caution."

In truth, he need not have said these words.

But he felt he must take this opportunity to make things clear to Qin An.

Since Qin An arrived at the Celestial Cloud Path, Li Moyun recognized that Qin An’s potential surpassed others here.

He didn’t want Qin An to go to the capital knowing nothing after reaching the Unity Realm; at least he could let Qin An be prepared.

Qin An nodded, stood up, and said, "Since that’s the case, I understand now, so I will take my leave first."

The Unity Realm was still a long way off; Qin An intended to first forge his supreme foundation before anything else.

Currently, he had only collected the Golden Origin, with the other four origins being far out of reach. Qin An thought this matter could be postponed.

Soon, Qin An left and returned to his abode.

...

Returning to his residence, the sky was already dark.

He didn’t think about anything else and went to rest early.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, seven days quietly elapsed.

The Celestial Cloud Path remained peaceful.

The Evil Extermination Bureau was the same.

Since the battle at the Jinluan Holy Hall, the Evil Extermination Bureau had been in a rather leisurely state.

If there was a task, they’d go out to complete it. If there were none, they’d lead quiet days within the Bureau.

At this moment, two Daoist Officials by the Bureau gate were suddenly taken aback.

Their gaze shifted to the street.

At the end of the street, a person dressed in white slowly approached.

As this person arrived at the gate, the two Daoist Officials immediately lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

The person in white, with a gold badge at his waist, reflected a dazzling, mysterious light in the sun.

This person ignored the two and walked straight into the courtyard, heading towards a certain direction.

Many within the Evil Extermination Bureau noticed the individual as well, especially upon seeing the badge on his waist, each face reflected shock.

They knew that the direction he was heading was seemingly where Qin An was.

At this moment, Qin An was resting in his room.

He had visited the Confidential Library again yesterday, reading various miscellaneous books, slightly improving his Scholar Profession proficiency.

However, there was still a long way to go before reaching level twenty-three.

He wasn’t in a hurry, planning to head to the Confidential Library again today.

But just then, footsteps outside interrupted Qin An’s thoughts.

Looking up, Qin An saw a familiar figure standing outside the door.

Bai Lingfeng scanned the surroundings, his gaze landing on Qin An, and raised an eyebrow, "Qin An, why did you call me here, what’s the matter?"
