In the twenty years in the capital, under the nourishment of the Longevity Lamp and his own improvement, Shen Ping’s level of luminarist slowly rose to the realm of a seven-star mid-grade. He was only a small realm away from the high-grade, which was the limit of his Life Qi talent.

Under normal circumstances, as long as his connections and character were not too bad, he could compete for the position of director of Lingzhou City’s government office.

The Yang family has also been operating in this area. The whole thing went rather smoothly. After all, Shen Ping had already made a great contribution. In addition, he was not old and had grown up in the state capital since he was young. He could be considered to have a clean background and had good connections in the capital. Therefore, after applying for half a year, the Yun Nation’s Imperial Court issued a decree.

“Congratulations, Nephew Shen!”

“Congratulations, Director Shen!”

“The director of the state capital’s government office has a high status. Congratulations!”

“Haha, Director Shen, I’ve already said that this position belongs to you!”

Once the decree came, many people from the capital came to congratulate him. The usually deserted Shen Manor immediately became lively. Shen Ping cupped his hands and said humbly, “It’s all thanks to the guidance of the elders that things went so smoothly. I will remember this favor in my heart.”

After the fun, Yang Yimo smiled and said, “Congratulations, Brother Shen, on getting your wish.”

Shen Ping looked at Yang Yimo. After so many years, Yang Yi Mo had always been by his side. He was not a plant, so how could he be heartless? “As the director of the State City Official Office, I have to have a family. After a while, invite Uncle Yang, Uncle Lin, and the others over to be our witnesses.”

Yang Yimo was taken aback. Then, she cried tears of joy. She did not say anything and quietly leaned into Shen Ping’s arms.

“Hehe, congratulations, Big Brother. Not only did you become the director of a prefecture, but you also married Sister Yi Mo. It’s a double blessing.” The fifteen-year-old girl was already a beauty. Her eyes were watery and full of youthful vigor. She blinked and stretched out her small hand. “Hehe, I want a prize.”

Yang Yimo laughed. “You sly girl. Here, this is a pouch for you. Sooner or later, we’ll be family.”

Luo Lin’s cheeks flushed. “Sister only knows how to tease me. I’m leaving.”

Ever since she kept sending flowers to the Shen family, her family’s situation had improved, and her mother had also received treatment. She gradually got better. She knew that all of this was because of Shen Ping, so she had long wanted to repay him.

Half a month later, many high-ranking officials and nobles came to congratulate Shen Ping on his wedding. After all, the director of the state capital’s official office had a pivotal position and could be considered a feudal official. In addition, Shen Ping was a seven-star mid-grade Life Luminarist. Although he could not compare to an eight-star, there were only so many eight-star Luminarists in Yun Country. A seven-star was already very strong. Even the sovereign of Yun Country sent a congratulatory gift.

Three months after the wedding, Shen Ping officially took office and left the capital to return to Lingzhou City.

There were not many changes in Lingzhou City in these twenty years. However, there were more refugees on the streets near the city gate. His father-in-law said, “Recently, there has been a drought in Lingzhou. Many places have not harvested a single grain. Although the Imperial Court has allocated food relief funds, it will take time to transport them from the surrounding areas. Currently, the granaries in the capital city have been opened one after another, but they can last at most three months.

“The remaining granaries still have to be stored. The Yan Kingdom might take this opportunity to attack the border. That’s why, son-in-law, it’s not easy for you to be the director of the government office.”

Shen Ping could not help but understand why the previous director had resigned so readily. It turned out that he had thrown this problem to him. The director of a state government office was responsible for political affairs.

Yang Yimo said, “Father, doesn’t our Yang family have granaries everywhere?”

Patriarch Yang glanced at Shen Ping. “I do have some reserves. I’ve accumulated a lot of old grain in the past years, but it’s just a drop in the bucket.”

Shen Ping asked, “How long will it take to transport food from the surrounding prefectures?”

“It will take at least four months to mobilize all of them, and even if they are transported over, they won’t last until next spring.” Patriarch Yang sighed, “Every drought is like this. You don’t have to worry. Just do your best. As long as the capital city is not captured by the Yan Kingdom, you can sit in this position for at least hundreds of years.”

The lifespan of a Luminarist is very long. Ordinary Luminarists were 200 years old, while five-star Luminarists and above were 1,000 years old. Therefore, they looked at ordinary people as if they were grass and ants. No one cared about them at all, especially a large clan like the Yang family.

However, for the sake of Shen Ping, Patriarch Yang said that.

“Father-in-law, please send someone to open all the granaries in the prefecture capital tomorrow. I will resolve the problem of transporting food.”

He had the innate ability to teleport. With his strength, he could transport large quantities of food in a short time.

Patriarch Yang frowned. “This… alright. However, you must be careful of the Yan Kingdom. Once the capital city is short of food, the Yan Kingdom will definitely invade.”

“I know.”

At the border mountain range between Yan and Yun Country, Fire Lord gritted his teeth. “Damn it, this guy is improving too quickly. In just 20 years, he has grown to become a seven-star Luminarist. I’m afraid it’s very difficult to trap him with my strength. I can only let Master take action!”

He was unwilling to give up. It was extremely rare for him to encounter someone with the talent of the Longevity Lamp. He had originally thought that as long as Shen Ping left the capital in a few years, he would be able to find an opportunity. Who would have thought that he would not leave the capital for 20 years?

“Master went to the west. I don’t know when he’ll come back!”

The director of the State City Official Office had a lot of political affairs every day, but Shen Ping had handed them all to the deputy director. He only had to deal with the disaster relief slightly. The most important thing in this aspect was food. As long as there was enough food, the rest was a small problem.

Moreover, the Luminarists from all over the world would not be greedy for this money. To them, there were many ways to obtain money. They could casually rely on a few chambers of commerce and get a lot of dividends every year.

Therefore, after Shen Ping teleported all the grain to the granary in a few days, the entire state city and various prefectures and counties began to open the granary one after another and set up many porridge sheds.

“What admirable means! With this stockpile of grain, the Yan Kingdom will not rashly attack the border. Many refugees were originally going to starve to death, but now they can survive,” Patriarch Yang smiled and said. “This is merit.”

Shen Ping waved his hand. “I didn’t think too much about it.”

It was a piece of cake for him.

Late at night, after a few vigorous moves, he teleported back to the capital. After ten years of focused research, he had already confirmed that the true spirits of the ordinary people who had reincarnated, including the Luminarist, would change.

Once he died, his reincarnation would be another person. However, their fates still did not change. For example, when the infatuated man and woman were 15 years old, they got together again. In this life, they did not suffer the pressure of their families. Instead, other factors caused them to be unable to marry each other.

Shen Ping did not interfere. He watched quietly as they died one after another and reincarnated. Except for the infatuated man and resentful woman, the other ordinary people were the same. Even if there were changes, they were only pushed by various factors. In the end, their fate was still destined.

As for the Luminarists, due to their long lifespan, unless there were any accidents, their reincarnation was rarely observed. In fact, people like Cao Yu of Lv County were a good opportunity. However, Shen Ping did not think of this at that time, so he did not use the Great Dao of Reincarnation.

This was not difficult for him. After all, the Luminarists of the seven countries in the world die every year. Therefore, over the years, he had teleported to the places where wars broke out in the country. There were also some Luminarists who fought and saw their reincarnation through the Great Dao of Reincarnation.

Just like any other person, the true spirit of the Luminarist’s reincarnation would also change, but their talent as a Luminarist was passed down.
