Chapter 954: Chapter 629: Jobless Vagabond Sect Master Shen_2

Upon reaching such a realm, does one still need to eat?

"He’s not begging for steamed buns, but for imperial qi," Zi Yang explained softly.

The ascetic monk swallowed the steamed bun contentedly, chewing each bite and also ingesting the light yellow mist that clung to it.

After finishing his meal, he tidied up his appearance, bowed again towards the tightly shut gate, and then turned to leave.

"Sigh."

Shen Yi suddenly had quite a good impression of this so-called Immortal Court.

After resolving the problems at hand, it seemed not bad to find some work in such a world if one could.

With this in mind, he followed Zi Yang towards the outskirts of the city.

...

A small temple on the outskirts.

Two brightly dressed old Immortal Children brought out a broken wooden table and set it outside the temple, while a line of people formed orderly behind it.

Commoners needed only a guide to enter the city, but for cultivators...

Frankly, Shen Yi felt that in the Immortal Court, possessing some cultivation was something that would be discriminated against.

The two old Immortal Children wished to check their ancestors eighteen generations back. Anyone with even a slight blemish was met with scrutinizing gazes.

From the Divinity Transformation Realm to the White Jade Capital, no one received even a glimmer of a smile from them.

"If you report yourself voluntarily, you might fill a vacancy. But if you conceal your cultivation to enter the city and are caught by the Earth Spirit, then it won’t be so easy to explain..."

"The Immortal Court and the Imperial Court together govern this divine land. Just register your name with the Earth Spirit, and he will naturally help recommend you to the Jianyang Prefect."

Zi Yang explained quietly, knowing the chasm between the Master of Hongze and now queuing in front of a Land Temple as a Wild Cultivator was indescribable.

But since they had arrived outside, Sect Master Shen would have to endure a slight inconvenience.

"Dao Realm?"

The two old Immortal Children finally raised their heads, looking intently at the young man in black before them, and then at the Jade Slip on the table: "Nanyang Sect?"

"A small place without much fame," Shen Yi didn’t mind going through the process.

"So, a roaming immortal, someone with natural talent and profound cultivation, indeed should venture into the world." The old Immortal Children smiled genuinely, asking seriously, "Senior, can you command Cloud Formation and Rainfall?"

Having walked the path of Union Dao, one was no longer considered a cultivator but a roaming immortal, with the right to enjoy the offerings to the Immortal Court.

"..."

Shen Yi fell silent. If he really had to say, he could indeed command it, but what he summoned was a sky of dark clouds and a rain of blood and terror.

Clearly, these two old men were not looking for someone to bring calamity.

He could only shake his head gently.

The old Immortal Child was not disappointed and continued, "Then what about exorcising disasters and praying for blessings?"

Shen Yi shook his head again.

"Childbirth blessings?"

The two old Immortal Children changed their expressions slightly. Jianyang was a small place, and it wasn’t easy to come by someone of such capable material, but this one couldn’t do one thing nor another.

After Shen Yi shook his head a third time, they finally sighed, "How did your sect teach you? With such cultivation and you didn’t learn any useful skills, you can’t help with anything. What will you use to open temples and accept offerings from the Mortal Realm?"

"Don’t be anxious, elder Immortal Child. My elder brother here excels in combative techniques and is quite accomplished in slaying evil and eradicating demons," Zi Yang had just leaned in to offer an explanation, but before he could finish, he was interrupted.

"You’re a White Dragon, can you command Cloud Formation and Rainfall?"

"Yes, a little," Zi Yang replied, somewhat surprised.

"Very good, very good." One of the Immortal Children took out a Jade Dishware and placed it in Zi Yang’s hand, "Report to the Government Office within three days and become a rain-praying envoy. Serve the Immortal Court and your future will be boundless."

The other Immortal Child then turned to Shen Yi, explaining helplessly, "In the land of the Immortal Court, there are no Evil Beings daring to run amok. Even if some Evil People escape, they are not something a single roaming immortal can handle. I advise you to quickly learn a survival skill or focus on cultivating; don’t get involved in mortal affairs. After becoming a master, you can then descend the mountain for experience."

Eating... survival skills.

Shen Yi lowered his gaze to his hands, suddenly feeling at a loss.

Qinghua had become an Immortal Official in the heavens, with attendants who were all eighth-rank court officials, yet he, in the Mortal Realm, was actually being shunned.

"Alas."

The old Immortal Child gave him a consoling glance.

For a roaming immortal from such a humble background, the situation was awkward.

If he were a disciple of a great sect, he would be hidden away in nature, untainted by the mortal dust, simply cultivating and striving for the Dao Fruit.

If the lineage had not been broken, with a simple message to his ancestors above, he could ascend to heaven and become an Immortal Official.

The young man in front of them had cultivation that was undoubtedly profound, but within the realms of the Immortal Court... he was simply of no martial use.

Neither too high nor too low, stuck in the middle.

If there was a need for combative expertise, his adversary would not be a True Immortal, nor was his own realm high enough.

For all these tasks that would benefit the common people, he was too proud to stoop to them. The old Immortal Children had seen too many similar cases, and it wasn’t easy to persuade them.

After all, even a roaming immortal was still touched by the immortal character, and maintaining some pride and self-esteem was normal.

Just then, a figure came hurrying over.

"I have urgent matters to attend to; please forgive my rush."

The ascetic monk, with one shoulder bare, made his way through the crowd, bowed to everyone, and then took out a Buddhist amulet, gently setting it on the table: "I wish to see the Jianyang Prefecture Earth Spirit, please pass on my message to the Immortal families."

The two old Immortal Children glanced at the amulet, quickly stood up from behind the broken table, and pushed Shen Yi to the side with respect, "So it’s the pilgrim who has arrived. We failed to welcome you from afar; please follow us."

Watching the ascetic monk being led directly into the Land Temple, with the remaining people behaving as if it was all normal, not showing any signs of dissent.

"..."

Zi Yang tugged at Shen Yi’s sleeve, transmitting a message: "I misjudged earlier, this person has a significant background. Though he’s not from the Immortal families nor a court official of the Immortal Court, he is a pilgrim."
