Every two months, a Yan Fu event must take place, calculated according to real-world time, and it’s possible to accumulate them.

That is to say, if you can complete six fruit Yan Fu events within one day, then you can rest for the following year.

Since the intensity of each Yan Fu event for Li Yan is very high, to relax his nerves, Li Yan has never done Yan Fu events continuously. He only starts the next Yan Fu event when the time limit is about to expire, in an unhurried manner.

For instance, this time, with three days left until the mandatory launch of the event, Li Yan had just agreed with Cha Xiaodao to enter, but now complications had arisen. Li Yan had to return to the fruit he named “Taishuai,” Scale-Ding You Twenty-Four, to retrieve Lady Dan, which meant he had to re-plan and prepare.

It wasn’t so easy to just say you wanted to find Lady Dan and bring her back.

Fruits come in various sizes, but from Li Yan’s last experience, Scale-Ding You Twenty-Four, which produces the secret Dragon Tiger Qi, is undoubtedly a vast and mysterious fruit. Lady Dan left a note saying she had returned, but where she went, Li Yan had no idea, and to go in rashly was like looking for a needle in the ocean.

Moreover, the content of Yan Fu events for lower-level Walkers is often determined by the Proxy Traveler, who has the authority of the Heavenly Master and Divine Master, and holds great randomness.

Perhaps the event will require Li Yan to continue staying on the Joseon battlefield, while Lady Dan has gone to the Great Ming territory. If that happens, Li Yan could only abandon the Dragon Tiger Qi treasure and risk being branded a deserter to return to his country,

Conversely, the same was true. Serving as the Daning Guard Governor, a position with real military power, even if Li Yan returns to substitute for his stand-in Earth Endurance, if the court requires him to guard the border, he can’t leave his post to go to the Joseon battlefield.

Besides, after getting over his initial impulse, Li Yan deduced that Lady Dan leaving him a note instead of disappearing without a word, clearly indicating she had matters to deal with, meant that besides being angry with him, she likely had urgent situations to address.

Since Li Yan learned that Yu Shu had given his legacy to Lady Dan, he was mentally prepared for a situation like today’s.

The first thing to do was to ascend to be an Eight Extremes Walker.

Originally, Li Yan wasn’t in a rush to advance; throughout his journey, he faced far greater dangers than a typical Walker, and the mortality rate of normal Yan Fu events was actually quite low. Now, relying on his own formidable strength, he had planned to settle in the lower-level Yan Fu events for a while.

But at present, Li Yan saw the need to ascend to be an Eight Extremes Walker.

As the highest-level Yan Fu Walker beneath the Proxy Traveler, an Eight Extremes Walker can learn the sequence of fruits before the opening of a Yan Fu event.

Earth Endurance would present the most recent situation of the designated fruit and the related Yan Fu events in a list for the Eight Extremes Walker to choose from, of course, some precious events might require payment, or even the possibility of bidding against other Yan Fu Walkers for the right to initiate the event…

This was very necessary for Li Yan now. First, Lady Dan may have returned to this fruit yesterday, and by calculation, she could have been there for a month or two. If she had caused any commotion, it is possible that some of the eight million Earth Endurances lurking there would have sent news.

Secondly, Li Yan could also pick a Yan Fu event that would allow him to move freely, even if he was too busy looking for Lady Dan to complete the event, leading to its failure. That would still be much better than losing his office and the Dragon Tiger Qi treasure.

Li Yan made this clear to Cha Xiaodao in advance, that this time he was going to find someone. If Xiaodao joined him, his event would most likely fail too, resulting in a deduction of a large amount of points, or even a debt. But Xiaodao obviously didn’t take it seriously.

To ascend to become an Eight Extremes Walker, one needs an inheritance with an Awakening Degree of 99%, along with two “excellent luck” evaluations. And complete 10 Yan Fu events.

Li Yan just met the latter two requirements, but the Gu Huo Bird’s inheritance was at 75%, still 24% short.

It sounds like a lot, but money can make a ghost push a millstone.

Sixteen thousand points was a sum that would move even a Proxy Traveler.

Items that raise the Awakening Degree are highly sought after and are often snapped up as soon as they are listed. With only three days, Li Yan really didn’t have the time to watch the auction house and rely on luck to buy them. Fortunately, there were other methods.

For a variety of reasons, Yan Fu Walkers tend to be buried underground, but they also have their own circles and small organizations.

With the authority of Zhao Jianzhong and the support of several other Ten Masters, these Yan Fu Walkers form a loose group that rarely interferes with things unrelated to themselves. However, they still control a large amount of worldly resources and connections.

Therefore, it’s natural for them to trade the advantages within Yan Fu for immense worldly power and resources in private deals.

For example, Cha Xiaodao’s last vigilante action was actually very crude and could easily be traced. In the end, it was with the help of some small circles of Yan Fu Walkers that Xiaodao resolved the matter.

Of course, Zhao Jianzhong’s people could also handle such matters, but correspondingly, the fines for Xiaodao would be much more expensive.

So in the end, Li Yan entrusted Xiaodao to use these small organizations to gather all the Yan Fu Talismans.

[Phoenix Blood Pendant] *2: Raises the Awakening Degree of Feather Class inheritance by 10%.

[Misty Wave Pearl]: Raises the Awakening Degree of any inheritance by 4%.

Three Yan Fu Talismans, exactly 24%, were more expensive than at auction, costing Li Yan six thousand five hundred Yan Fu points.

The deliverer was a skinny old man in a yellow uniform, his eyebrows almost bent with joy, clearly seeing Li Yan as a gullible mark.

Li Yan didn’t bother with him and watched as he left.

“You’ve obtained the title of Eight Extremes Walker.”

You have gained the following new permissions:

1, A forty-cubic Seal Space that can store items, but cannot contain living creatures.

2, Autonomy to select Yan Fu events, but the fruit sequence cannot be changed.

3, You may initiate some Yan Fu events issued by higher-authorization Yan Fu Walkers, with rewards provided by the issuers.

But these alone weren’t enough.

Li Yan then spent two thousand Yan Fu points at the auction house to acquire a Turin Thin Dog.

It was a black long-haired thin dog with silver star patterns on its body, its soft tongue hanging out.

Turin Thin Dog

Category: Summoning

Quality: Rare

Characteristics: Fire Eyes (capable of seeing through most illusions)

Spirit Detection (just one item with the target’s scent is needed to locate the target within a range of five hundred miles.)

Fully prepared, Li Yan and Cha Xiaodao arrived at the gloomy hall filled with black pillars within Yan Fu, where Li Yan began to check the current Yan Fu events of the Scale-Ding You Twenty-Four Fruits one by one.

Yan Fu Event One: Hereditary chieftains, the incumbent Governor of Boy State, Yang Yinglong, launched a rebellion, openly attacking government troops.

The Liaodong General, Li Rumei, overwhelmed by the task, lends him two thousand soldiers to escort the Jianzhou chieftain to the capital for the tribute…

Note: Your identity from the “Taishuai” fruit will be more advantageous in completing this Yan Fu event.

Completion Condition: Escort the Jianzhou chieftain to the capital for the tribute, the event is completed upon arrival.

Yan Fu Event Three: Leader of the White Lotus Sect, Zhao Yiping, started an uprising in Zhejiang, preaching the mantra “True Void Hometown, Mother of Non-birth,” rallying the common people to cause trouble.

Completion Condition: Eliminate the Sect Leader Zhao Yiping and the four great Law Guardians. Quell the White Lotus Sect uprising,

or kill the Zhejiang Governor Wei Fuhai, allowing the White Lotus Sect to seize the Hangzhou government office. This will also complete the event (high difficulty).

“…”

Li Yan pondered for a moment, while Cha Xiaodao watched on the side, “The second one seems easier.”

“But I detest Nurhachi…”

Li Yan frowned, yet he still decided to choose the second one. This event was less challenging, and all the way from Liaodong to Beijing, he could also seek some clues.

However, just as Li Yan was about to select Event Two, a new message suddenly popped up.

Recruitment Event!

An unusual phenomenon has suddenly occurred at the Heavenly Master Mansion on Dragon Tiger Mountain in Jiangxi. Azure cloud fire has shrouded Dragon Tiger Mountain for three days and nights, and even intense rainfall hasn’t extinguished it. Subsequently, Dragon Tiger Mountain declared itself closed.

The current Heavenly Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain, the Nation-protecting Great True Person, Lingxiao Yujing Miaoyi Feiyuan True Monarch, Zhang Yichu, pleads with the Divine Emperor. He claims a Celestial Demon has descended and asks the court to send specially chosen elite soldiers and strong generals from each state’s military government offices, carrying the Dragon Tiger Banners that guard mountains and rivers, to rush to the Heavenly Master Mansion to help defend the mountain.

Note: Once the one hundred and eight Dragon Tiger Banners are unseated, they have an indescribable attraction to all demons, spirits, and evildoers, as well as cultivators seeking the Dao. Please be extremely cautious in their escort.

Completion Condition: Successfully escort at least one Dragon Tiger Banner to Dragon Tiger Mountain.
