Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1445 - 633: The Path of Incense and Offerings

Upon hearing Miao Wan’er ask this,
Lin Xuankong’s face showed a trace of peculiarity as he turned to look at Miao Wan’er, only to see the third Miss Miao family staring at him intently with her elegant eyes.
Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but feel moved inside, secretly thinking:
This little girl is asking questions back and forth, and suddenly asking me, if I were that Black-robed Immortal Master, what would I do... Could she already be suspicious that I am the Black-robed Ghost-faced Immortal Master!
It shouldn’t be! When I left the tavern earlier, I didn’t draw anyone’s attention, and when I returned, I was wearing black clothes, a Ghost Face Mask, and used True Qi to deliberately change my voice, so there shouldn’t have been any flaws!
But looking at this little girl’s eyes at this moment, there’s clearly a little bit of suspicion, this little girl’s instincts are outstanding and unique; after all, the officer Ding Ye, whom I highly regard and really want to take as an apprentice, along with other officers, didn’t sense anything unusual!
It seems this little girl could be valued by He Yao Dao and directly taken as a disciple, indeed has her unique qualities! That He Yao Dao, besides intending to use this little girl Miao Wan’er as a Tripod Furnace, should have also sensed this little girl’s special talent! I just never considered the idea of taking a disciple before, so I never thought of testing Miao Yun Lake of the Miao family and this little girl Miao Wan’er’s cultivation talent!
Thinking of this, Lin Xuankong made a silent decision and then said:
"I, a mortal man, no matter what decisions I make, no matter what thoughts I have, could never be like that Black-robed Immortal Master! After all, that Black-robed Immortal Master, according to you, is vast in divine techniques; such Immortal Family figures could never share the same mindset as a mundane person like me!"
The third Miss Miao family, Miao Wan’er, seeing there were no flaws in Lin Xuankong’s words, could only slightly nod, retract her gaze, and stop speaking.
It’s just that her reason tells her the person in front is not that Black-robed Immortal Master, yet relying solely on that intuition, she somehow feels that Lin Qiang in front resembles that Black-robed Immortal Master too much...
After retracting her gaze, the third Miss Miao family, Miao Wan’er, turned to look outside the window, secretly thinking: I must be mistaken; I must be mistaken! No matter what Lin Qiang is like, he couldn’t be that Immortal. He’s just a descendant of a fallen family seeking support from my Miao family. Miao Wan’er, oh Miao Wan’er, don’t indulge in fantasy; he absolutely couldn’t be that Black-robed Immortal Master!
While the two were talking, the car kept shuttling through Qingyuan City, quickly leaving the area where the dignitaries gathered and once again reached the district full of starving people!
Lin Xuankong looked at the yellow-faced, emaciated commoners outside, the previous somewhat tangled mood completely relaxed, no trace of annoyance remaining. After all, he thinks that Ninth Young Master Huang from the Capital City, capable of mobilizing nearly endless wealth, can easily influence every dignitary of Qingyuan City. If Ninth Young Master Huang truly does as he says, caring for every starving person in Qingyuan City is absolutely no difficulty!
In his previous life on the Blue Planet, the horrific hardships that he once encountered may still play out across the Great Yan Kingdom, yet they likely won’t appear in Qingyuan City!
...
Four days later,
In the side courtyard of the Miao family,
Lin Xuankong, extracting his heart spirit from cultivation, strolled into the courtyard.
As morning approached, a figure quickly ran in through the courtyard gate, it was the little steward Miao Youren, sent by Miao Yun Lake to take care of Lin Xuankong. After rushing into the courtyard, Miao Youren first saluted Lin Xuankong and then said:
"Reporting to Young Master Lin, Miao Youren has been outside running errands these past few days, gathering reliable information! Guess what? That amazing figure, Ninth Young Master Huang, sent from the Capital City, has already dispatched people, transporting collected grain and clothing from various places to Qingyuan City!
Currently, notices have been posted throughout Qingyuan City, explaining that Ninth Young Master Huang is acting under orders from the Black-robed Immortal Master to assist all the people of Qingyuan City. Plus, instructing all households lacking grain and clothing to register at the inspection bureau in the city’s west over these next few days. As long as the situation is found to be true, in the coming period, all troops and staffing from the Inspection Bureau will help Ninth Young Master Huang accomplish the Black-robed Immortal Master’s command, caring for and providing for all the impoverished citizens of Qingyuan City!
Tsk tsk, the entire Qingyuan City already knows about the incident at the tavern that day, moreover knows that the Black-robed Ghost-faced Immortal Master ordered Ninth Young Master Huang and all officials and soldiers of Qingyuan City to take good care of every poor person in Qingyuan City! Now, every corner of Qingyuan City, every teahouse, is full of people praising that Black-robed Immortal Master!
And this is just the beginning. Once Ninth Young Master Huang arranges everything well, and those poor people indeed receive abundant grain and clothing, perhaps nearly two hundred thousand citizens of Qingyuan City will worship that Black-robed Ghost-faced Immortal Master!"
At this, Miao Youren smiled and continued:
"Young Master Lin, you might not know, the happiest official in all of Qingyuan City right now is probably our patriarch of the Miao family!
Over the years, our patriarch has made countless efforts to stabilize Qingyuan City’s populace and stop the poor families from dying of hunger every so often, yet has never succeeded. Additionally, with the recent years of rising warfare, the situation in Qingyuan City has deteriorated, and the number of destitute and penniless citizens has grown!
