Some words don't need to be said clearly. Lin Ji just heard a rough idea and already knew it in his heart.
The sword in front of me has a seal and a book, so it is naturally a valuable treasure.
But taking the treasure means recognizing the relationship between Supervisor Tiansi and Da Qin and assuming the responsibility of Supervisor Tiansi.
"Can I choose among these three things?" Lin Ji couldn't help but ask even though he already had the answer in his mind.
"You can choose." Eunuch Chu nodded.
Lin Ji took a deep breath.
"Even this Supervisory Heaven Seal?"
"yes."
Hearing this, Lin Ji was silent for a moment, without too much entanglement, and shook his head calmly.
"The Supervisory Heaven Seal is too heavy, Lin can't lift it."
"The other two items are just right for Mr. Lin and complement each other."
"This is something that belonged to the first director of the Supervisory Sky Division. If Lin took it, it was an act of arrogance. If his colleagues heard about it, Lin would not be able to behave in the Supervisory Sky Division in the future." Lin Ji shook his head and laughed.
Eunuch Chu, however, continued: "Master Lin cultivates the Hao Qi Jue, which has the same origin as these two treasures. This Caolu Sword is perfect for Master Lin. The Hao Qi Jue can also help Master Lin achieve the realm of Taoism. .”
"Without this Caolu Sword, I still have the Qingzhi Sword. As for Taoism... Lin's Taoism is not here."
"The Hao Qi Jue is so difficult. Master Lin can get started after getting it. In just a few years, he has reached the current level of cultivation. How can he say that it is not here?" Eunuch Chu said, "Looking at Jiantian Division, there are many people who practice Hao Qi Jue. , but most of them only linger in the third and fourth realms. They may be considered powerful figures in the same realm, but they are difficult to break through and their achievements are not high. Only you, Master Lin..."
"Eunuch Chu, there is no need to say any more." Lin Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
"That Jiangshan Fan is good. Lin's original fan happened to be damaged, so I'll use the Jiangshan Fan as a replacement."
As he spoke, Lin Ji had already arrived in front of the stone platform of Jiangshan Fan and reached out to take the fan in his hand.
Eunuch Chu's expression froze. He didn't expect Lin Ji to be so straightforward.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Ji said: "As for the other treasure...there was a seventh-grade dragon blood pill on the second floor. Although it was only dragon blood, it was extraordinary to have a seventh-grade pill. It happened that Lin had cultivated the Three Saint Cave Pills. For a true dragon body, just take a bottle of dragon blood pill."
After the words fell, seeing that Eunuch Chu wanted to say something else, Lin Ji waved his hand to interrupt.
"That's it. If Lin stays in a place like the Royal Treasure House for a long time, he might not be willing to leave. It's better to leave quickly... Eunuch Chu, what do you think?"
Eunuch Chu looked at Lin Ji deeply, and after a moment of silence, he nodded slightly.
"Just Master Yilin."
...
Lin Ji quickly took a bottle of Dragon Blood Pill and followed Eunuch Chu out of the royal treasury.
Until he walked out of Yangluan Hall, Eunuch Chu remained silent.
The two of them left the harem in silence.
"Master Lin, please go slowly without seeing me off." Eunuch Chu stood still and saluted Lin Ji slightly.
"Thank you so much, Eunuch Chu." Lin Ji returned the greeting with a smile, and then walked out of the palace without looking back.
He left the palace quickly.
But when he was about to go home, he found Fang Yunshan standing outside the palace, watching him quietly.
Lin Ji was startled and rushed over.
"Master Fang is here specifically to wait for your subordinates?"
"Go back to the Yamen first." Fang Yunshan turned and left.
Lin Ji quickly followed.
After walking about a hundred meters, Fang Yunshan asked without looking back: "What did you take?"
"A Taoist artifact, the Jiangshan Fan, and a bottle of seventh-grade Dragon Blood Pill." Lin Ji answered truthfully.
"You are not a Taoist monk, and the Taoist tools are not of much help to you now. What are you doing with the Taoist tools?"
"Although it can't be used, it's good for keeping out wind and rain. The folding fan before Xiaguan was destroyed in Yunzhou." Lin Ji said with a smile.
Hearing this answer, Fang Yunshan also had a slight smile on his face.
Lin Ji just took one look and didn't want to look again.
"Didn't Eunuch Chu take you to the third floor of the treasure house?"
"I went and saw Jian Tianyin."
"Why don't you take it? If you take the Jiantian Seal, you will be the next head of the Jiantian Division, respected by all the monks in the nine states." Fang Yunshan asked casually, but he was obviously not surprised by Lin Ji's choice.
Lin Ji lowered his head and chuckled twice.
"Xiaguan is not even willing to be a town official, let alone the position of the head of the Jiantian Division? Mr. Fang has reminded me several times that the Jiantian Division is a cage and a shackles."
After a pause, Lin Ji's tone was filled with teasing and ridicule.
"The lower official is used to being free and undisciplined. He doesn't like to go to jail."
"Haha... go to jail." Fang Yunshan seemed to be in a good mood.
After laughing, he said again: "When you return to the Yamen later, you go and collect your salary. It has been almost two years since you took office as Youxing, and you haven't received any money."
"Haha, I'm not afraid of adults' jokes. At first, I thought my salary was all money, so I don't lack this. Later I heard that there was Yuan Jing. I wonder how much my salary will be in the past two years?"
"It's not much. You Xing's annual salary is 5,000 yuan crystals, and Zhang Ling's annual salary is 8,000 yuan crystals."
"There are so many?" Lin Ji was stunned. By this calculation, he could receive more than 10,000 crystals.
"Oh, in addition to this, there are also pills for cultivation, which will also be arranged according to your realm. I dare not say that it will make you worry-free, but Supervisor Tiansi will never let his own people suffer from difficulties in cultivation."
Fang Yunshan continued: "In addition, Supervisor Tiansi will reward you based on your merits. Needless to say your achievements in the past two years, you have no use for those pills, so they have been replaced by Yuan Jing to give you a whole package." , a total of 20,000 yuan crystals."
After the words fell, Fang Yunshan's steps became a little faster.
"I have to leave the city for a while. You can go back by yourself."
Lin Ji quickly saluted and said goodbye.
Only after Fang Yunshan left did he come back to his senses.
"Twenty thousand yuan crystals are just a joke."
An ordinary day-traveling monk might not be worth this much.
...
In the imperial palace, in the royal study.
Hearing the footsteps outside, Pei Di asked without raising his head, "How is it?"
"In reply to Your Majesty, he took the Jiangshan Fan and the seventh-grade Dragon Blood Pill." Eunuch Chu said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Emperor Pei frowned slightly.
"Why, Lin Ji has been promoted from a young seventh-level demon hunter. He entered the spiritual path from Supervisor Tiansi. He has worked hard for so many years. Doesn't he want to climb up?"
Eunuch Chu hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black."
"You mean this is what Fang Yunshan meant?"
"Not impossible."
After hearing this, Emperor Pei pondered for a moment, with a bit of irritation on his face.
He looked at Eunuch Chu and asked, "Have I ever neglected Lin Ji before?"
"Your Majesty is so majestic, how can you say he is being disrespectful?" Eunuch Chu responded, "Your Majesty is already courteous to virtuous men, but Lin Ji does not know what is good and what is evil."
"Since you have not neglected me, you have no loyalty to me." Emperor Pei said.
Eunuch Chu was silent.
There was silence in the imperial study room for a moment.
After a long time, Pei Di's voice finally sounded again.
"Go and send a message to Lan Zeying for me..." Emperor Pei muttered a few words in a low voice that only Eunuch Chu could hear.
After a moment, Eunuch Chu nodded slightly.
"Old slave, go now."
