"Master, should I start planning to go further now?"
Chu Chen was surprised when he heard his master's reminder.
He had just come out of the Taoist Academy. He had been promoted one level, from the ninth grade to the eighth grade, and became the deputy leader of class A and class B of Huanghaoyuan.
The next step is to be promoted to an eighth-grade immortal official, or a first-grade deputy leader.
The best result is that the Immortal Court will be promoted to a false position, while the Ghosts and Gods Division will be promoted to a real position.
No matter which one, as long as it can take a further step, it will be a happy event for Chu Chen.
To be honest, he had just been promoted to the eighth-grade immortal official and had not yet thought about taking a further step.
Taoist priest Xu Ping nodded:
"Yes! You have contributed a lot to killing the disaster beast. You have just been promoted to the county's Ghosts and Gods Department, and your qualifications are relatively low. The most important thing is that your Taoist cultivation has just been promoted to the eighth level, so it is not easy to be promoted for the time being."
"If it were another senior deputy squad leader whose Taoist cultivation and magical power are obvious to all, I'm afraid your squad leader has already hinted that he is expected to be promoted."
Taoist priest Xu Ping has been in charge of ghost affairs for a long time and has a clear understanding of the promotion and transfer of immortal officials. He explained the rules to Chu Chen in detail.
Chu Chen nodded, still a little confused.
"Master, since I have a junior qualification and insufficient cultivation, doesn't it mean that I don't meet the requirements for promotion for the time being?"
Taoist Xu Ping shook his head:
"My teacher said that the selection of immortal officials in the Immortal Court is never based on seniority, but on meritorious performance and potential, especially for eighth- and ninth-grade immortal officials. As long as their cultivation potential is sufficient, they will be promoted quickly."
"It will be more difficult to be promoted when you reach the seventh level and be in charge of the affairs of ghosts and gods. It requires real merit and ability."
"Although our Lingshan sect is not a big sect, it still has a certain influence in Guangping County's Ghost and God Department."
"As long as you show your due strength, you will definitely be promoted immediately, not to mention, you have really made a contribution."
Chu Chen suddenly realized.
Master has made it very clear.
With the strength of the Lingshan sect, the Immortal Officials and positions below the seventh rank can all operate.
There is no need to make outstanding achievements, just work conscientiously and make no mistakes.
As long as his strength allows, he can rise up.
This is the advantage of having a sect and a backer. If you are below the seventh rank, you don't have to plan and plan for a small step in promotion.
If Chu Chen really made a contribution, it would be easier for the Lingshan Sect of his master to operate for him. He would be upright and confident.
Right now, the only problem is that Chu Chen has just entered the eighth level and has not shown convincing strength.
In fact, although Chu Chen had just entered the eighth level of Taoism, his cultivation level was not weak.
Other monks may be worried about the invasion of external demons, so their cultivation is bumpy and slow, and their improvement is slow.
Chu Chen has excellent cultivation methods such as [Golden Light Talisman Technique] and [Diamond Psychic Sword Technique]. When practicing, he is not afraid of external demons at all. He is vigorous and diligent, and his cultivation can be achieved twice the result with half the effort. His cultivation speed is far faster than that of ordinary monks.
In addition, he also has opportunities such as Shengyuan Miaodan and Tianhu Yuanqi.
In a few months, Chu Chen's Taoist practice improved very quickly, and he was not at all like a monk who had just entered the eighth-level Taoist practice.
His Taoist cultivation level ranks in the middle of the eighth-grade monks.
As for magical powers, Chu Chen is not weak either. Whether it is military magic or the magic he has practiced, he is very good.
Chu Chen already understood what the master meant.
The reason why his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, asked him to plan for promotion was not only because of his great achievements today, but also because he was about to master the magic [Shuang Guan Marshal's True Form Technique], and his Taoist magical powers were improving rapidly, and he was fully qualified to take the next step.
"Master, I have almost mastered the [Marshal Guan's True Shape Talisman], and my magical powers are expected to be even better."
"Great kindness!"
Taoist priest Xu Ping nodded with satisfaction:
"You are different from other disciples of the same generation in our Lingshan Sect. You have developed Su Hui, and your conduct in life is not lacking in wisdom."
"You have been in ignorance for twenty years. Once you become enlightened, you should work hard and catch up. Neither your master nor your uncle will pressure you and sharpen you. You can spread your wings and soar in the sky with confidence. Don't live up to your talent."
"Thank you, master, uncle!"
Chu Chen felt grateful that his master and uncle really thought about him and did not follow the rules, but taught students according to their aptitude.
Taoist Xu Ping nodded slightly and said solemnly:
"You just need to remember one sentence."
“You can fly in a clear sky, but don’t imitate a moth.”
Chu Chen carefully understood the eight characters of master. After a long time, he nodded slightly.
"Master, I understand."
Taoist priest Xu Ping glanced at his apprentice:
"Do you really understand?"
"I really understand!"
Taoist priest Xu Ping nodded with satisfaction before leaving.
Looking at the figure of the master heading to the clean room for practice, a faint smile appeared on Chu Chen's face.
Although Lingshan Sect is not a big sect, it is quite warm.
Master Boyunlei, Taoist Master, taught him according to his aptitude, did not overwhelm him, gave him everything he had, paved the way for him, and gave him a stage to shine. His only wish was that he should not stray into evil heretics.
Just as the horoscope "If you can fly in a clear sky, don't imitate moths", he has a bright future, but don't imitate moths and go astray, leading to your own destruction.
...
After his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, left, Chu Chen made some repairs, called out the Heart Temple, and understood the [Marshal Zhao Guan True Shape Technique].
After burning the incense, Chu Chen put down his ink pen and picked up the talisman on the desk, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
[Marshal Guan’s True Shape Talisman] It’s done!
Pinch out the military tactics.
Guan Yunchang, the evil general, came to Thunder Gate.
"I've met the mage!"
After continuous internal training, the god general became more and more spiritual. He vaguely saw the spiritual talisman [Marshal Guan's True Shape Talisman] in Chu Chen's hand, and a look of alarm appeared on his face.
"Well, I've called you here today to wish you a promotion to the top class. Just wait and see!"
"yes!"
Next, Chu Chen sat cross-legged on the futon in the clean room, calmly adjusting his true breath, and his spiritual light moved away.
I imagine a blue moon shining on the cold pond.
First recite the Marshal's Oath of Loyalty and Righteousness:
"The sword aura reaches the clouds, and Shi says he is a tiger minister. He is a righteous enemy of a country, and he can serve all gods. Shu spreads its wings, and Wu dismantles its Lin. Xihu is loyal and brave, unparalleled before and after. The powerful sound of the earthquake is related to a certain law."
As Chu Chen recited the mantra, a divine light descended from the void realm and landed on Guan Yunchang, the evil general.
The god general looked solemn, said nothing, and was immersed in a certain world.
Chu Chen nodded with satisfaction. The divine general was baptized by the divine light, which was quite smooth.
So he continued to chant the mantra.
"One qi combines virtue, water and fire absorb essence. Yang moves and yin responds, and all gods are born. Red and black linger, black smoke nurtures talents. It makes me insightful and profound. I respond urgently, and receive orders to be clear. Urgent is like a wise man. The Great Emperor's Law and Order."
What he is reciting is the Divine General's Spell, the Divine General's True Shape Talisman. The previous Spell is not enough. He must strengthen the Spell to control the Divine General smoothly.
"Guan Yu, the divine official, overturns the world. He holds the power of the sky and the power of the true king. Breathing thunder, shaking the mountains and rivers. I swear to cut off the source of evil everywhere. Holding the sword in hand, call the saints and gather the immortals. If you dare to miss it, I will kill you with an inch. Wuyuan. The thunder is running fast, and the yellow Yue is shining in the sky. You bear a heavy oath, and the laws are accurate and Taixuan. You are as urgent as the laws and orders!"
As Chu Chen recited the incantation, the spiritual talisman [Marshal Guan's True Shape Talisman] in his hand spontaneously ignited without fire.
The spiritual talisman turned into a stream of divine light, flew towards the Demon General Guan Yunchang, and disappeared into the body of the divine general.
Quietly, subtle changes took place in General Guan Yu.
