Gu Xu didn't know that the Tianyan Stone, the heirloom treasure of the Exorcist Department, died early because of him.
He didn't even know that in tomorrow's actual combat assessment, he would face a very targeted and difficult test set by Chief Luo himself.
Tonight, Gu Xu just wanted to practice quietly.
Shi Xiaohan once gave him fifteen bottles of Jingxin Pill at once.
Therefore, in the short term, his training time will no longer be limited due to insufficient elixirs.
Now, Gu Xu has stood at the peak of the first realm [Ghost Gate].
We are only one step away from the second level [Huangquan Road].
The majestic true energy was already surging and boiling in his body.
What he is waiting for now is an opportunity that will come naturally.
The night passed quickly.
Three more Jingxin Pills were missing from Gu Xu's porcelain bottle.
…………
It dawned very late in late autumn.
When Chu Fengge walked out of the gate of Guanyi, Yishui County was still dark.
At this moment, his miserable face with bruised nose and swollen eyes had completely recovered, and he had once again become the noble young man with a delicate face, red lips and white teeth.
In the wilderness, after a monk with outstanding talent is promoted to the third realm [Naihe Bridge], there is a certain probability of awakening a natal magical power.
The magical power that Chu Fengge awakened at the beginning was called "Weed".
The "weed" magical power gives Chu Fengge extremely strong vitality and self-healing ability - no matter how injured he is, as long as he has a breath left, he can recover as before in a relatively short period of time without medical treatment.
In short, it is thick-skinned and very durable.
This is undoubtedly an important capital for Chu Fengge to dare to act arrogantly.
But now, Chu Fengge was in a very unhappy mood.
the reason is simple.
On the one hand, he went to the Lu family's haunted house with great interest yesterday, intending to kill demons and make a name for himself.
However, he didn't even see the ghost's appearance clearly, so he received a severe beating. If he hadn't used the life-saving magic weapon given to him by the Chief of Staff in time, he might have died in the haunted house.
On the other hand, the Chief of Staff asked Shangguan Jin to summon him last night and told him, "The young man named Gu Xu is far more talented than you. In three years at the latest, his cultivation level will surpass yours."
Chu Fengge was absolutely furious!
He has always regarded himself as "the most talented person in Da Qi" and believed that he was so talented that he would look down on the world and be unrivaled in the future.
If someone else had said this, he would have just regarded it as fart.
It's a pity that these words were said by the Chief Secretary.
As we all know, Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Department, is best at the art of divine deduction - his eyes as deep as ancient wells can always see the unknown future.
So Chu Fengge panicked.
In his mind, if you can't be the best in the world, what's the point of living?
He decided to go to the Yishui Yamen in person today to see how much of a threat Gu Xu, who had attracted much attention from the chief executive, posed to his future position as number one in the world.
"Let's go!" Chu Fengge stood on the stone steps with his hands behind his back, head held high, and ordered the followers behind him in an indifferent tone.
"Yes, sir." Xu San and Wang Wu responded with their heads lowered tremblingly.
At this time, the faces of Xu San and Wang Wu showed smiles of surviving the disaster——
It’s great that Mr. Chu didn’t chop off our heads!
…………
At the same time, Gu Xu also arrived at the Exorcism Department Office early.
Perhaps it was because the vision of Tianyan Stone yesterday was too overwhelming.
There are much more people watching today than yesterday.
Not only the monks and government officials from the exorcism department gathered here, but also the officials from the county government across the street - such as the county magistrate, and the screaming Zhou Jiaoyu, all put down their work and came to watch. .
In their view, the exorcist department clerk named Gu Xu had obviously attracted the attention of the big shots in the capital.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will be able to fly straight up into the blue clouds with the help of the east wind.
If they can build a good relationship with Gu Xu now and ask Gu Xu to put in a good word for them in front of the big shots in the capital in the future... maybe they will also get the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune.
"Mr. Gu, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you are even more charming than before!" As soon as he saw Gu Xu, Zhou Jiaoyu walked up to greet him with a smile on his face, "That night when the county school was haunted, I felt Mr. Gu is not a creature in the pond. Now it seems that he is just a blockbuster."
"Mr. Zhou, thank you for the award." Gu Xu smiled humbly.
This Zhou Jiaoyu is worthy of being an intellectual who has passed the imperial examination - as long as he is not scared by ghosts and screams, his words are really nice.
Seeing Gu Xu and Zhou Jiaoyu talking and laughing, County Magistrate Jiang next to him, not to be outdone, immediately came over and said, "Since Zhou Jiaoyu came back from the haunted county school that day, Mr. Gu's name has been on his lips every day. He said that Mr. Gu is a young hero that he has never seen before. I thought he was exaggerating before. But when we met today, I realized that Mr. Gu is really young and promising, and a talented person."
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously." Gu Xu shook his head repeatedly, not shying away.
Later, Director Luo of the county government office also squeezed his way through the crowd of people to Gu Xu. He smiled and said, "Dare I ask Mr. Gu if he has ever been married? There is a girl in my family who just got hairpins half a month ago. She is very beautiful." It's as beautiful as a flower. If Mr. Gu doesn't dislike it, maybe you can consider it."
Gu Xu glanced at Master Luo's roebuck-headed appearance and thought that if this guy's daughter was really as beautiful as a flower, then the top of his head would have been green by now.
But Gu Xu is busy practicing now.
He has no interest in such time-wasting matters as discussing marriage.
Just when Gu Xu was about to find an excuse to refuse, Shi Xiaohan suddenly appeared beside him, pulled his sleeves away from the encirclement of county officials, and rescued him.
"I have important matters to discuss with him." She gave a simple and crude explanation in a majestic tone.
"Master Shi, please feel free to do so." The officials lowered their heads and said.
They did not dare to show the slightest slightness in their attitude towards the inspection of Shi Xiaohan, an eighth-level exorcist who was not only powerful but also had a profound background.
So, Shi Xiaohan easily took Gu Xu to an undisturbed corner of the inner courtyard.
She took out a food box from her sleeve like magic, handed it to Gu Xu with a smile, and said to him:
"Gu Xu, this is the breakfast prepared for you today - crystal dumplings, golden spring rolls and eight-treasure rice cakes, which respectively symbolize 'bringing in wealth', 'golden taels' and 'rising every year'.
"You must work hard for today's assessment!"
"Master Shi has an order, how dare you disobey it?" Gu Xu's mouth turned up slightly and he took the food box from her hand.
The first ray of sunshine in the morning fell on his handsome profile, making his smile as bright as the morning glow.
