"I do." Lin Qingquan said slowly, "She asked me to tell you: Kid, live well, eat when you need to, drink when you need to, just live freely and don’t think about irrelevant things. Don’t wander around unnecessarily."
Chen Yan laughed, the tone was indeed like the old lady’s, but he still asked, "What does she mean by that?"
"How would I know? Do you think, with the Venerable’s status, when she conveys a message, she would explain it to me? I’m only responsible for passing the message. As for what her words mean, how the hell would I know? I’m not a Venerable!
If I really saw her, I’d have to bend over and salute."
Chen Yan nodded, "Alright, does she have anything else for you to convey?"
"There is one more thing." This time Lin Qingquan furrowed his brows, his expression becoming much more solemn, and he said in a low voice, "She asked me to tell you... Do not refine the Primordial Spirit, do not cultivate Body Technique!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yan’s heart shook, and he looked up at Lin Qingquan in disbelief!
Lin Qingquan sneered, "Looking at your expression, it’s like you already knew there were problems on the cultivation path with the Primordial Spirit and Body Technique."
Chen Yan was silent for a while, "I didn’t expect you to know either, even more unexpected that the old lady would ask you to remind me of this."
"Ha!" Lin Qingquan still sneering, "How many days have you been cultivating? Even after you casually practiced for a few months and touched a bit of Cultivation Technique, you could realize the problem... Do you think within the Domain Realm, among thousands of cultivators, with so many geniuses emerging over the years... no one has thought of this issue?"
Chen Yan said slowly, "Can’t dual cultivate, and each path has flaws, which is a restriction... knowing there are issues and pitfalls, why then..."
"Why do the cultivators in the Domain Realm still cultivate this way?" Lin Qingquan’s expression changed, he sighed lightly, and said in a low voice,
"Because there’s no choice! This is the path set by the Heavenly Dao, except for this path, there’s no other way! Either not cultivate at all and be an ordinary mortal all your life, or... obediently follow the path set by the Heavenly Dao."
"...Understood." Chen Yan replied in a low voice, and gave Lin Qingquan a deep look.
"It’s only in this world that I dare to speak these words to you. If it were in the Domain Realm, these words would be hard to utter even half a word, even in the heart, it’s best not to entertain such thoughts!"
Chen Yan fell silent, quietly holding the Jade Pendant, and after contemplating for a while, he said, "I have another question, about my fath..."
"Stop right there!" Lin Qingquan immediately raised his hand, "I’ve already told you everything your grandmother asked me to convey! As for other matters, I don’t know, asking me is useless. Your grandmother is a Venerable after all!
She didn’t tell you, do you think I could possibly have the answers you’re looking for?"
"Alright." Chen Yan wasn’t hoping for much, hearing this, he didn’t press further, "Then talk about this Jade Token, let me join the Inspection Bureau, what do you want me to do?
Since it’s recruiting me to work, matters like benefits and the job description ought to be clear, right."
"It’s not an assistant nor an apprentice, it’s... an outsider, meaning temporary worker. You can think of it as an ’auxiliary police officer’."
"Auxiliary police officer?" Chen Yan laughed.
"Something like that." Lin Qingquan waved his hand, "But at least you get to eat civil servant benefits, most importantly, your name has been registered with the Heavenly Dao of the Domain Realm."
"Ah?" Chen Yan was stunned.
Registered with the Heavenly Dao of the Domain Realm? What’s that supposed to mean?
"You don’t understand, whether you’re an outsider or not is relative to the official system of our Domain Immortal Platform.
But working in the Inspection Bureau means working for the Heavenly Dao, and working for the Heavenly Dao naturally requires having a name engraved in the Heavenly Dao.
Otherwise, when the Heavenly Dao distributes rewards, who should they distribute it to?"
Lin Qingquan laughed as he said this, "Not just you, even a dog in the Inspection Bureau has its name registered with the Heavenly Dao."
"Well... can I ask, this ’Heavenly Dao registration’, what is it, how is it done?"
"It’s simple, burn incense and pray, burn a piece of your body and hair together, pray to the Heavenly Dao, tell the Heavenly Dao, boss, this is one of our own, in the future when you distribute rewards, just give it to him... something like that."
As Lin Qingquan spoke, he laughed, "You don’t need to think of it too seriously, I already told you, in our Inspection Bureau, even a dog has to get its name registered with the Heavenly Dao. It’s just letting the Heavenly Dao acknowledge your existence, able to find your true self, so once you make merits, the reward distribution can directly affect you."

The logic is not hard to understand.
But... didn’t the old lady always hope that I would stay away from the Domain Realm?
Moreover, after conducting numerous investigations and gathering information, Chen Yan himself also made a judgment—that it would be best to stay far away from the influence of the Domain Realm Heavenly Dao!
But this time, why did the old lady let me join the Inspection Bureau, and even have me registered with the Heavenly Dao of the Domain Realm?
"Wait, could it be you acted on your own? Did the old lady really ask me to join the Inspection Bureau? And have me registered with the Heavenly Dao?"
"What else? Do you think it would be easy for you, a non-domain external cultivator, to join the Inspection Bureau?" Lin Qingquan said, seeing the puzzled look on Chen Yan’s face, "Don’t ask me, I don’t know. If you want the answer, find an opportunity to ask your grandmother yourself."
"Can I... get in touch with the old lady?" Chen Yan’s eyes lit up!
"No." Lin Qingquan said with a stern face, "Unless you can go to the Domain Realm, but... you can’t go there. Your identity, the World Wall won’t let you pass. Even if you’re part of the Inspection Bureau, an external cultivator like you is absolutely not allowed to pass into the Domain Realm."
