Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1438 - 629: Black-robed Immortal Master (Part 2)

As I traveled through Qingyuan City, I observed the suffering of its people, many of whom were starving and freezing to death! As the first matter, you must spend money to provide food and clothing to the truly impoverished families in Qingyuan City!

As for how much and how many people, there is only one standard: I want to see that within three years, not a single person in Qingyuan City dies from starvation or freezing! If any single person dies from starvation or freezing within three years, I will take your life, and even if your Huang Family has a million troops, they won’t be able to save your head!"

Ninth Young Master Huang nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, and his eyes even gleamed with a hint of joy, "Ninth Young Master Huang takes the order. I will most certainly execute the Immortal’s command clearly, ensuring that not a single person in Qingyuan City dies from starvation or freezing within three years, no, within five years!"

Ninth Young Master Huang couldn’t help but be happy. After all, the Huang Family controlled several states and shared the wealthiest Kyoto with the Feng Family. As someone highly esteemed within the Huang Family and quite influential among the young generation, Ninth Young Master Huang had access to wealth nearly limitless! Considering the population of Qingyuan City as just a county town, he could easily ensure that everyone had enough to eat, even for the tens of thousands in the city without any pressure!

Moreover, upon hearing Lin Xuankong’s command, Ninth Young Master Huang had already formulated a plan...

Lin Xuankong ignored Ninth Young Master Huang, snorted coldly, picked up the fainted Demon He Wu, and with a move, turned into a plume of black smoke, crossing several dozen meters, passing through the window of the tavern’s second floor, landing on the street outside, then once more turning into a wisp of black smoke, disappearing in an instant down the road.

Several breaths after Lin Xuankong left the tavern,

the second floor of the tavern, dead silent like a grave, began to awaken with some sounds. Those so-called dignitaries finally dared to breathe loudly, finally daring to discuss in whispers.

Ninth Young Master Huang was the first to climb up from the ground, his face still carrying some lingering fear, yet having regained some of his usual majesty. His gaze swept over the murmuring crowd, finally resting on Ding Ye, with an appreciative look on his face, he spoke:

"Just now, when confronted with the Black-robed Immortal Master, everyone in the tavern was trembling as if facing a predator, but it was only you, Ding Ye, who dared to speak to the Black-robed Immortal Master, even pleading for me! It’s thanks to you that I managed to survive this time!"

At this, he paused, making a decision in his heart, and continued, "Ding Ye, I see you’re both brave and wise, such talents are rare indeed, among all the geniuses I have met, you’re considered exceedingly excellent and outstanding! For someone of your talent to be tucked away in this small Qingyuan City, it’s truly a waste!

Hence, I have a task for you, Ding Ye. If you can help me accomplish it, then from that day on, you, Ding Ye, will be my confidant. As long as there is a day of prosperity for me, Ninth Young Master Huang, there will be a day of glory for you, Ding Ye! I wonder if you, Ding Ye, are willing?"

The people present, upon hearing Ninth Young Master Huang say this, whether the dignitaries or officers like Wei Hong and Liang Yucheng, all showed envious expressions. To be valued as a confidant by Ninth Young Master Huang equated to having the vast influence of the Huang Family as a backing, and who wouldn’t envy that among those present!

Even Miao Wan’er, whose mother is from the Ma Family, couldn’t help but glance at Ding Ye upon hearing this. Although Ma Yufeng is part of the Ma Family, she’s more of a marginal figure, without a voice in the Ma Family, whereas Ninth Young Master Huang is different, being quite renowned and possessing significant power within the Huang Family!

Upon hearing Ninth Young Master Huang’s proposal, Ding Ye’s expression subtly shifted. He straightforwardly responded, "Whatever task Young Master Huang has, just say the word!"

At this time, Ding Ye was quite ecstatic in his thoughts, having long been very keen on the Cultivation World described by the Demon He Dao, and deeply longing for the wondrous power demonstrated by Lin Xuankong,

yet he knew that whether or not he could get the chance to be favored by an Immortal and step into that fascinating Cultivation World was something beyond his influence; it wasn’t an opportunity for him to seize at will! Conversely, the status of Ninth Young Master Huang was extremely high, capable of accessing the cultivator forces behind the Huang and Feng families, such as Demon He Dao!

Ninth Young Master Huang nodded, "Good, Brother Ding is truly straightforward, without any hesitation, so refreshing! I admire your character! Since that’s the case, I won’t hold back, Brother Ding, you might have guessed that I want you to assist with a matter-----that is to aid me in fulfilling the Black-robed Immortal Master’s order to provide food and clothing to some of Qingyuan City’s people!

For my part, funds and food supplies are not an issue! However, not being a native of Qingyuan City and my family not directly governing it, I still require assistance from local people to accomplish this task! Brother Ding, being the Deputy Captain of the First Defense Battalion in Qingyuan City, you have authority, men, and resources, I can trust you with this matter!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Ye promptly agreed. Doing good deeds for the people of Qingyuan City without using his own funds, such an opportunity Ding Ye was undoubtedly a hundred times willing to take!

Among the crowd,

Miao Wan’er, with a complicated heart, looked out the window in the direction where Lin Xuankong vanished.

On this day, Miao Wan’er’s emotions surged wildly, with surprises and shocks coming far too suddenly! And it was also her first true contact with the Hidden Cultivation Sects as mentioned by Demon He Dao, her first realization that there truly existed ’Immortals’ in this world, and even ’Immortal Venerables’ with powers and magic beyond belief!

For Miao Wan’er, who has always carried a bit of pride and a certain ambition, the power of those ’Immortals,’ the influence of those ’Immortal Venerables,’ seemed more alluring compared to the powers and influences of families like the Sima, Feng, Huang, or Ma families!

After quietly settling her complex feelings, Miao Wan’er’s eyes gradually firmed with resolve, and then she decisively walked over to Ding Ye,

Standing beside Ding Ye, Miao Wan’er looked towards Ninth Young Master Huang and spoke:

"Young Master Huang, with the matter of providing food and clothing to the people of Qingyuan City, Wan’er can also assist! Wan’er’s father is the Inspection Bureau Chief of Qingyuan City, responsible for managing the records, residences, and safety of nearly two hundred thousand people of Qingyuan City! My father has clear records on which families are poor, which are struggling, which have surplus food, and which are wealthy households! Besides, my father commands over a thousand inspectors under the Inspection Bureau, who can be mobilized! After all, for something that benefits all of Qingyuan City, both Wan’er and her father are more than willing to contribute!"

Upon hearing this, Ninth Young Master Huang immediately nodded, looking at Miao Wan’er with a smile, "It’s a pity that because He Wu was captured, I lost the chance to become a senior brother to Miss Wan’er, but since Miss Wan’er is willing to lend her help, I am indeed pleased to have the opportunity to work together with Miss Wan’er again!"

Not far off, Liang Yucheng, seeing Miao Wan’er come forward to help Ninth Young Master Huang, also did not hesitate any longer, saluting toward Ninth Young Master Huang and saying: "Subordinate Liang Yucheng, along with Brother Wei Hong, both serve as Deputy Captains in the Second Defense Battalion. Since Young Master Huang desires to benefit the people of Qingyuan City, We in Yu City and Brother Wei Hong, will certainly do our utmost to support Young Master Huang in arranging this affair!"

Witnessing this, Wei Hong and other officers also stood up, expressing their commitment to fully assist. Additionally, dozens of officials and dignitaries from Qingyuan City also stepped forward, some offering financial support, others offering food, while others promised to provide manpower!
