Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 565 Frontline
Of course, Wang Luo didn't really need a vacation.

Unlike modern practitioners who grew up in the new era and focus on "health preservation", Wang Luo's understanding of practice and life comes from the classical era, an era in which people practiced to death if they didn't practice to death, and an era in which people could die from either practicing or neglecting to practice. The concept of death from overwork is really an excessive luxury.

What's more, Wang Luo didn't feel very tired. At the same level, his energy and physical strength were far superior to those of modern practitioners. Compared with the practice when he was polishing his alchemy foundation in Lingshan, just attending some meetings and engaging in intrigue with some people at the meetings... It was as relaxing as a vacation.

But Lu Youyou would naturally know the same logic.

Therefore, the vacation that Lu Youyou strongly recommended was obviously not a real vacation.

She just needed Wang Luo to temporarily leave the position of Lingshan Mountain Master. Recently, the title of Lingshan Mountain Master has already had too much presence and affected too many strategic decisions. In other words... it has attracted too much hatred.

The essence of a meeting is to reach a consensus, and the essence of consensus is compromise. Compromise means that the interests of some people are damaged, and the resulting resentment and indignation naturally requires a channel to be channeled.

For a long time, Wang Luo played the role of such a channel. As a person who had almost no qualifications in the political arena of the Immortal Alliance, but rose to a high position overnight. Wang Luo relied on the title of "Master Junior Brother" which was not justified, and Lu Youyou's favor. But when Wang Luo controlled the fate of others and forced others to sacrifice and make concessions, he was often calm and decisive, just like Lu Zhiyao herself. So the grievances and hatred naturally accumulated and brewed, and when the time was right, they would explode.

Therefore, after this period of intensive political participation, Wang Luo should naturally retreat to the second line and avoid the limelight temporarily... so that Lu Youyou can free up his hands and feet to personally take action and stir up more intense political waves.

However, no matter how intense the waves were, they had nothing to do with Wang Luo.

Because he is going on vacation.

-

On this day, when the early morning sunlight shone on Wang Luo's face through the gaps between the branches of the housekeeper tree, the long-lost atmosphere of comfort made Wang Luo dazed for a moment, unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.

It was not until the hustle and bustle outside the courtyard reached his ears over the courtyard wall and he heard the familiar shouts of peddlers that Wang Luo let out a sigh of relief, came to his senses, and realized that he was on vacation, a short vacation to hide away in the city.

The place of vacation is located in the old house of Shi family in Shi Street, Rongcheng, a place that is beyond many people's expectations.

This house once held everything of a girl named Shi Yue, and also carried her memories of poverty and hardship. Once upon a time, the four rooms belonged to four tenants, but now the courtyard has been vacant for a long time...

Shi Yue, who worked odd jobs in the streets to pay off debts, had already become a well-known political rookie in Rongcheng and even in the entire Zhuwang. She followed the Governor Han Ying and made many contributions in the past few years of settling the wasteland. Naturally, the burden on her shoulders became heavier and heavier, and her title changed almost every year. And since a long time ago, her food, clothing, housing and transportation were all in the Governor's Mansion, and she had no time to go home. A year ago, Han Ying even arranged a house for her in Bibo Garden. Shi Yue refused at first, but gradually adapted to the environment there, and naturally lived less in Shi Street.

Xiao Zhao, who used to love setting up a grill under a tree to cook supper, was admitted to Rongcheng Academy early on. He did not take advantage of the connections he had made in Shi Street. He opened the door to the academy with his excellent grades and naturally lived with his girlfriend. Not long ago, they graduated from the academy and followed the advice of the hall master to go to Molin for further studies.

As for Qin Yu in the South Wing, he was probably the tenant with the most ups and downs. Wang Luo thought that after clearing up many misunderstandings and obstacles, he would continue to stay with Gu Shishi, but when Gu Shishi visited him not long ago, she denied this. After she and Qin Yu separated because of Bai Cheng's parting poison, the two did not get back together. Now Gu Shishi is still busy with work, busy consolidating her power and position in Bolan Manor. But Qin Yu left Zhuwang early and her whereabouts are unknown... The last time they contacted, he sent a travel photo from Zhou Guo. In the photo, in addition to Qin Yu, there were two beautiful girls with almost the same appearance.

Finally, there is Fan Li in the West Wing. Compared with the other tenants, her experience is relatively plain. She has lived in the Shi family courtyard for the longest time and once recommended her former colleague Shu Quan to live with her. For a period of time, her business in Taixu Qinglu experienced a rapid growth, which naturally caused a lot of trouble. However, with the help of a master from the Governor's Mansion, the troubles were soon settled, and Qinglu's business gradually stabilized. Although Fan Li was not rich, she had no worries about food and clothing. Just when she thought she might live in Shijie permanently, her roommate Shu Quan disrupted her plan and insisted on dragging her to start a business, saying that he had gathered a group of backbones who retired from the big workshop to join in the event. Fan Li has never been able to persuade others, so she had no choice but to follow. Unexpectedly, a few years later, the Nine Honors Competition was booming, the Immortal Alliance scroll market was booming, and their business was actually a great success. As a veteran, Fan Li not only gained financial freedom, but also lost her freedom in life. She stayed in the workshop almost all day to work overtime, and from time to time she accompanied Shu Quan to welcome the visits of various politicians for guidance... It is unknown whether this is the life she wants.

-

In short, the Shi Family Courtyard has now become Wang Luo's exclusive residence during his vacation. Compared with the quietness inside the courtyard, the noise outside the courtyard is particularly harsh.

For example, not far from the gate of the courtyard, at a makeshift breakfast stall, there was a young couple who were shouting at the boss for fried liver buns, while casually setting up a lotus platform and complaining to each other in their long-impure local accent.

"Have you heard that the boss of Taixu Division is going to be replaced again?"

"Fuck, this is the first time... Every time there is a change of personnel, we subordinate organizations have to go through the process all over again, revise a work report over and over again, submit it over and over again, and then learn the damn spirit of the superiors over and over again! Fuck, why is there so much starch in this fried liver!?"

"Alas, five spirit leaves in one bowl, what else do you want? Damn, is this a steamed bun or a steamed bun? Isn't this a bit too much!?"

"Damn it, I'll report it to the Qingping Department and the Industry and Commerce Department after we finish eating. By the way, it is said that Yueyang has replaced almost half of the important officials from the Prime Minister down. I haven't seen them doing this much, have I?"

"Hey, everyone knows that Zhuwang people have the most bureaucratic habits..."

In the morning on the stone street, discussions and complaints like those of the young couple came like an endless wave. So even though Wang Luo was on vacation, he knew that the political landscape of Zhuwang and even the entire Immortal Alliance was undergoing drastic turmoil.

Lu Youyou's personal exit was indeed extraordinary... As a channel for the early grievances, Wang Luo's exit made many people mistakenly believe that the top leaders intended to temporarily stop and stabilize the political situation... But this was really a huge misunderstanding. Perhaps according to general political common sense, maintaining overall stability is the most important thing, but the crisis facing the Immortal Alliance and even Jiuzhou is enough to break all common sense. Under the threat of the two Heavenly Lords, in order to survive, no matter how intense the political turmoil is, it is not too much. And when the truth about the Heavenly Lord gradually spreads from top to bottom, all the aftermath of the turmoil will become invisible. Therefore, headed by Lu Youyou, the major lords almost unanimously exerted their strength, which can be said to be right on the mark, and they cleaned up their respective political structures in a very short time.

Then, we can start focusing on the next stage.

Just as he was thinking, there was a light knock on the door. Wang Luo turned his eyes and saw the red door creak open. A small flying sword suddenly shot over and then stopped one meter in front of Wang Luo, floating quietly and respectfully. Attached to the sword was a letter, and on the letter was a golden seal from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Wang Luo couldn't help but laugh when he saw this: this was the information briefing that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had to submit to Lu Youyou every day, but now they copied a separate copy for him and then sent it to him every morning with the Golden Deer Sword. Obviously, although Wang Luo's short vacation was not a real vacation, it must be short enough. It won't be long before Lu Youyou will ask him to come out again after the political cleansing is completed.

Wang Luo naturally had no objection to this. Dealing with the Tianzun crisis and clearing the last obstacle to the unification of Jiuzhou was also what he wanted in his heart, so he naturally worked hard for it. However, there was no need to read the briefing of the Golden Deer Hall. Because he would read and understand the truly important things himself.

You also have to see it in person to understand it.

After sending the Golden Deer Patrol back, Wang Luo took out a black jade bottle, took out two pills from the bottle and swallowed them. Then his soul instantly left his body and came to a rushing river.

Taixu Illusionary Land, Taiyin River.

However, compared to the Taiyin River that the Li Shen San led to, the river under Wang Luo's feet seemed turbid, and there was a faint fishy smell in the river. There were no Taixu walkers as numerous as stars on the river, but only a few figures, and they were so far apart that they couldn't even greet each other.

And this is the Taiyin River, the only river in the territory of the Right Immortal Alliance today that can directly connect to the Mingzhou Xinheng Fantasy Land.

Since the successful completion of Tongming Immortal Road and the establishment of Dinghuang Boundary by Xinheng, the promotion of Taixu Illusion has been natural and in full swing. Now the illusion has already covered the entire territory of Xinheng, with more than 100,000 Ten-Direction Mirrors, which allows Xinheng people to know all kinds of movements in the Immortal Alliance in an instant, regardless of whether they have swallowed Lishen Powder. However, this does not mean that the illusions of the two places have been completely integrated into one, because the geographical barriers have not been completely eliminated. From Lingshan on the western border of Zhuwang to the nearest Xinheng Sang County Liuyan City, there are still hundreds of miles of distance. And Xinheng itself, after being raised by the Heavenly Court for hundreds of years, its Heavenly Dao is somewhat different from Tianzhiyou. Therefore, although Taixu Illusion has been promoted and popularized, it will take a long time to adapt to the perfect integration.

Of course, the above reasons were only the reasons announced by Taixu Mansion. The essence of the problem was that Xinheng had been set as the battlefield for the direct clash between the two Heavenly Lords. Before the war, the infiltration from the Taichu Illusion gradually changed the illusion of Xinheng. The fishy smell in Taiyin River today did not come from the pollution along the Tongming Immortal Road, nor was it the filth of Xinheng itself... but from the erosion of Taichu.

This erosion was also the first task assigned by the Lord of Heaven to the Immortal Alliance. What Wang Luo wanted to see now was the actual progress of the task.

A moment later, he traveled along the Taiyin River and came to a vast expanse of water with vast lights. He saw Taixu Zhaotang like floating islands, nimble sailing painting scroll boats, and hundreds and thousands of Taixu travelers of various shapes and sizes flying in the air, all of which interwoven into a prosperous picture scroll.

This is the Taixu Illusion Realm in Xinheng. Although it cannot compare with the large nodes of the Immortal Alliance in terms of scale and prosperity, considering that the promotion of the illusion here has been less than half a year, its current scale can be called incredible.

Soon, a small boat arrived in front of Wang Luo. On the boat was a graceful woman who was almost naked, with only a faint white light covering her private parts. She said to Wang Luo in a delicate voice, "Sir, would you like to come to the "Demon Slayer" and dance with me?"

Wang Luo sighed in his heart. The Legend of Demon Slayer was a Taixu scroll with the theme of battle upgrades. Where did the "Dancing with the Slave Family" come from? This kind of scroll advertisement that went straight to the lower level and was seriously fraudulent was basically listed as a taboo in the Hundred Nations of the Immortal Alliance, but the good thing about Xinheng was that there were no taboos, and the Xinheng people who had never experienced this kind of false propaganda were often particularly susceptible to it.

Especially not long ago, several students encountered accidents in "The Legend of Demon Slayer" and died in agony. After that, they could not enter Taixu again... This news did not pose a big obstacle to the promotion of Taixu Fantasy in Mingzhou. But for the workshop operating "The Legend of Demon Slayer", it was like a bolt from the blue. Now, in order to save performance, the workshop obviously dared to use any tricks.

Wang Luo's silence for a moment made the woman on the boat a little bored. She quickly turned her head to greet the next guest, but the next moment, she heard Wang Luo say.

"Okay, take me to see it."

The woman was overjoyed and immediately stretched out her arms to greet Wang Luo: "Thank you, young master. Now the Demon Slayer is in the promotion period. You only need six spirit leaves to get a surprise gift package. If you accumulate enough spirit leaves, you will enjoy exclusive privileges!"

Wang Luo thought for a moment and said, "How much does it cost to get the highest level of your privilege?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "What did you say?"

Wang Luo didn't say much, and directly withdrew a sum of money from his own account: "This is one million spiritual leaves, increase all my privileges to the highest level, and then tell me how to go to see the [Three Realms Ruins] as soon as possible."

When she saw the one million spirit leaves, the holy light on the woman's body was almost blown away, but when she heard about the ruins of the three realms, the expression on her face suddenly became subtle.

"Sir, you are not... here to bait the law enforcement, are you?"
