Peerless Taoist

After all, this was not the Great Qin, and Lu Yu did not want any unnecessary trouble.    

As for the matter of the Marquis of the Mountain, Lu Yu believed that as long as the Marquis of the Mountain sent a message, Ji Wenchang would know how dangerous Mount Cuiyun was with his intelligence.    

Lu Yu was not a match for the evil spirits inside. He did not think that Ji Wenchang would be able to deal with them.    

Seeing that Lu Yu agreed, Ji Yanran revealed a smile.    

Just as she was about to speak, a spirit talisman flew in her direction.    

There were countless golden chains on the spirit talisman, densely wrapped around the talisman. It was obvious that the contents of the talisman had been encrypted. Only a spirit talisman of a high level would be able to be encrypted in this way.    

Ji Yanran's expression changed as she raised her hand and grabbed the spirit talisman.    

"What? My Ninth Uncle is seriously ill and has already reached the point of death!"    

When Ji Yanran saw the contents of the spirit talisman, she could not help but exclaim in shock, revealing an expression of disbelief on her face.    

"What happened?" Lu Yu frowned.    

"My Ninth Uncle's cultivation has gone astray and he has gone berserk. Although he was rescued, his body has not fully recovered." Ji Yanran shook her head and smiled bitterly. "I don't know what happened, but the spirit talisman suddenly said that Ninth Uncle is seriously ill and can't even get out of bed. The mansion's butler sent me a message, hoping that I could meet him one last time."    

Ji Yanran's ninth uncle was Ji Mingzhong, the King of Zhou.    

The Great Zhou Empire followed the ancient system of feudalism and divided the land into different feudal states.    

Within the territory, there were many feudal states of different sizes. Moreover, unlike the Great Qin's Void title of King, these feudal states had extremely powerful authority within their own countries. They controlled military, political, and financial affairs. They were only able to listen to the orders of the Zhou Heavenly Prince in the matters of state.    

Ji Mingzhong was the Family Head of the Ji Family's Yue Branch, and he was conferred the title of King of Zhou. The Twenty-Eight Star Prefectures under the jurisdiction of the Yue Country were also considered relatively wealthy feudal states.    

"Ji Mingzhong, is that the governor of Kunlun back then?"    

Lu Yu suddenly remembered.    

The Ji Family had probably started planning in the Heaven Realm a long time ago.    

Back then, when the Great Yu was at its end, the Ji Family had been involved in the governance of the Kunlun Galaxy, from the governor to the Prefecture Overseer. Their relationship was complicated and intricate, and they were unshakable.    

Even the governor who controlled the military and political power of the Kunlun Galaxy was actually a member of the Ji Family. It could be seen that the Kunlun Galaxy had long been taken over by the Ji Family.    

"My parents passed away early. If it wasn't for my ninth uncle helping me, I probably wouldn't have been able to walk this far. Back then, when I was conferred the title of Princess, many members of the royal family questioned me. Luckily, my ninth uncle stood out from the crowd and supported me, allowing me to successfully be conferred the title of Princess." Ji Yanran's expression was somewhat gloomy.    

"Let's go and take a look. Ji Mingzhong, I also want to meet him." Lu Yu said indifferently.    

Lu Yu had once received a list of ministers that Zhao Tianyin had left behind. It contained some names that Zhao Tianyin had secretly selected, and they were all useful talents that could be used in the future.    

One of them was Ji Mingzhong.    

He might not be the strongest, but he was best at governing the people.    

At first, he did not show his strength. After the imperial examinations, his rank was not high. He was only appointed as a county governor.    

It was a county that was extremely remote, with a small population and barren land. Even the cultivation sects were in twos and threes, and most of them were mortals. Many of them were arranged to serve as county governors. They were all focused on cultivation and did not care about the world.    

However, Ji Mingzhong was different. Ever since he took up the position, he had changed his mindset. First, he disbanded dozens of corrupt officials. After that, he helped the local people open up barren land and selected medicinal herbs that were suitable for growing on barren land. He planted them in large quantities and greatly improved the local economy. In a few short years, that county had become a famous medicinal herb production area.    

After that, Ji Mingzhong had taken up many positions, such as prefecture overseer, Star Lord, and so on.    

In terms of talent, Ji Mingzhong was not the most outstanding, but he was the most intelligent.    

Even during Shen Linglong's reign, Ji Mingzhong had once served as the Minister of Revenue for a period of time. He punished the wealthy and powerful families in Great Yu and greatly increased the taxes of the wealthy families. He used the work of the people to alleviate poverty and obtained high recognition. Unfortunately, he touched the interests of the Xu Family and was chased out of the Imperial Capital. He went to the Scorching Sun Galaxy to serve as a governor, and a few years later, he was appointed as the governor of Kunlun.    

This was a rare talent.    

Lu Yu had the intention of recruiting him. In his opinion, this kind of talent should be used to its fullest potential. It was simply a waste of a heavenly treasure to let him be the Yue King.    

"Alright, let's go over now."    

Ji Yanran had a deep affection for Ji Mingzhong. At this moment, when she heard that Ji Mingzhong was in danger, she could not help but start to worry.    

"It's too slow to fly over now." Lu Yu raised his hand and pressed down on Ji Yanran's shoulder.    

Ji Yanran was slightly stunned. Before she could regain her senses, the surrounding space began to distort rapidly. A strong sound of wind breaking resounded in her ears.    

In the next moment, a stretch of azure stars appeared in front of the two of them.    

"This is the Yue Country? I actually arrived at the Yue Country right now!"    

Ji Yanran opened her eyes and looked at the stretch of stars in front of her. Her eyes revealed an incredulous look.    

The Yue Country was quite far away from Emerald Cloud Mountain. Even if she, Ji Yanran, flew at full speed, it would take at least four hours to reach the Yue Country.    

The Kunlun Galaxy was truly too vast.    

Other than the Immeasurable Galaxy, the Kunlun Galaxy was the most vast place in the entire Heaven Realm.    

Lu Yu actually teleported to it in an instant.    

Even looking at Lu Yu's appearance, he was still calm and composed. It seemed that he did not use too much energy to do these things.    

"Lu Yu's strength has probably reached an unbelievable level. He is far from what I can reach." Ji Yanran sighed in her heart.    

Once upon a time, the two of them were still fellow students in Jade Cauldron Academy.    

Who would have thought that after a few years, the gap between their strength had actually become so huge.    

"This is the State of Yue!"    

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes and swept his Spiritual Sense across the place.    

The State of Yue had 28 stars. It was prosperous and peaceful, and every household was living in peace and working happily. It was a scene of prosperity and prosperity.    

Lu Yu could clearly sense that a monstrous aura of fortune was surging out from the State of Yue, continuously returning to the golden dragon of fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty, strengthening it.    

In the mortal world, many officials pretended to be mysterious in order to please their superiors, creating some false projects that were not worthy of their names. In reality, they were already living a miserable life.    

However, in the country of cultivators, this kind of thing rarely happened.    

Because the aura of fortune could not be faked.
