Immortal tribute is an additional offering given to immortal officials by the Immortal Court. It is quite precious and only immortal officials in important positions have the opportunity to obtain it.
There is a saying in the Celestial Court that whether one holds real power depends on whether there is any immortal tribute given every year without looking at anything else.
Immortal tribute can be exchanged for skills, magical powers, treasures, magical artifacts, etc. from the Immortal Court Treasury, which are extremely precious.
Even though Chu Chen had obtained thirty-five immortal tributes in one go, he felt that the immortal tribute was worthless.
The reason why the Immortal Court is so generous is because the fate of the Yunlin Kingdom and the weakening of telepathy for thousands of years have shaken the foundation of the country. This is an extremely influential event. The Immortal Court has given thirty-five immortal tributes one after another.
Under normal circumstances, if a small county manager works diligently for a year without making any serious mistakes and passes the evaluation, the Immortal Court will grant him five immortal tributes. This shows that it is normal.
From his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, Chu Chen quickly learned that the [Tao Tianjun True Shape Talisman] required "fifty immortal tribute".
In other words, the master and uncle helped him get out of fifteen immortal palaces, which is equivalent to the immortal tribute that senior brother Zhenqing received after working conscientiously in Liuye County for three years and completing one term.
This gift is quite heavy.
"Master, this gift is too valuable. Master, neither you nor my uncle Tao Tianjun were able to refine the [Tao Tianjun True Form Talisman]."
Chu Chen was quite moved.
"You are my master and your uncle doesn't want to sacrifice the [Tao Tianjun True Form Talisman]!"
Taoist Xu Ping shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"After redeeming it in the Immortal Court Treasure House, you are only allowed to enlighten yourself and cannot transfer it to others. We would rather spend the immortal tribute elsewhere, but you are different. You are an enlightened person with extraordinary understanding and deep immortality. I will definitely help you redeem it. Waste nothing.”
"this..."
Chu Chen was still a little hesitant.
"Okay, stop talking, just accept it if I ask you to."
As the saying goes, elders dare not refuse gifts.
With half-hearted reluctance, "No, no, no, it's so embarrassing," Chu Chen accepted the gift from his master and uncle.
Taoist Master Xu Ping set up a simple altar on the spot, with lights, fruits, and fragrance. He then asked Chu Chen to call out the seventh-grade Dharma urn "Dingjia urn", and soon transferred the fifteen immortal tributes to him. Chu Chen.
After doing this, Taoist Master Xu Ping hurried to congratulate his junior brother and teach him the scriptures, which was quite dedicated.
Chu Chen looked at his master's leaving figure, and a warm current surged in his heart.
Chu Chen was not surprised at all when his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, gave the immortal tribute to him in exchange for the "Tao Tianjun True Form Talisman".
The master had vaguely revealed this intention before, but at that time his deputy "Tao Tianjun" was not strong enough in internal training. He declined, and the master did not persist.
What surprised him was that the master, Taoist Boyunlei, also produced five immortal tributes this time.
Chu Chen thought to himself.
Presumably, the master had already prepared the required immortal tribute for him, but the master, Taoist Boyunlei, made it up on the spur of the moment.
He showed his talent and potential, and the great uncle decided to train him.
But no matter what, it was a friendship, and Chu Chen felt quite happy.
Although the Lingshan sect is small, it is more humane and does not have the intrigues and interests of the big sects. It is quite united and friendly.
...
The next day, the apprenticeship banquet started as scheduled.
The second uncle and the fourth uncle are far away and it is inconvenient to come to the banquet.
However, the apprenticeship banquet was quite lively, much more lively than when Chu Chen became an apprentice.
Senior officials of the Guangping County Government, several directors and deans of the County Ghosts and Gods Department, Guangping Taoist Temple, local sects and families...all the prominent figures in Guangping did not attend the banquet in person, but sent people to congratulate them, and they were full of cards.
Chu Chen was a little sour, but he was more happy.
When he first became a disciple, the Lingshan Sect did not have such a big reputation in Guangping County.
But with the efforts of everyone in the sect, the influence of the Lingshan sect in the entire Guangping County is growing, forming a considerable force that no one dares to underestimate.
Chu Chen also contributed a bit, which is an honor for you.
Of course, the happiest people are the parents of junior brother He Tong.
He Tong's father is an old boy who has read books about sages and participated in imperial examinations. He is well-informed and not a country man who knows nothing.
When he learned that his son He Tong had entered Taoism in just half a month and had extremely extraordinary talent, he regretted hastily handing over his son to Taoist Master Xu Ping.
He asked people about it and found out that the Lingshan Sect had a poor reputation and was a small sect. His son would be at a huge disadvantage if he joined the small sect.
With this condition, he can definitely be sent to the big sect.
Father He Tong was so angry that he called him sloppy.
It was just because of the rules that it was difficult to go back on his word, so Father He Tong did not have an attack and asked his son to join another family.
However, after the apprenticeship banquet, He Tong's stereotype changed greatly.
It seems...Lingshan Sect is not like an ordinary small sect...
After the apprenticeship banquet, Father He Tong took his junior brother to a deserted place and asked about the Lingshan Sect.
He Tong didn't have any scheming, he told the truth and shared some information about his master with his family.
"Dad, our school is very good. My master, uncle, and brothers are very good to me..."
"Dad, are you talking about the great uncle? I heard that he is the deputy director of the Ghost and God Department of Guangping County..."
"My senior brothers are also very powerful. The eldest brother is in charge of the Ghost and God Department in Liuye County, and my senior brother Chu Chen is in charge of the Ghost and God Department in Yunlin County. However, my senior brother seems to be more powerful than the eldest brother..."
"Yunlin is a big county and Liuye is a small county. Your senior brother is indeed more powerful. He has achieved such achievements at such a young age!"
Father He Tong murmured to himself, quite shocked.
At a young age, his fellow disciples made him the county governor, taking charge of the affairs of demons and gods.
When He Tong saw his father praising his senior brother, a smile appeared on his face:
"Well~ Senior brother is really amazing. It is said that he failed to enter Taoism like me a year ago. He has achieved this level of cultivation just over a year after becoming a disciple."
Father He Tong was extremely surprised: "Are you serious? This...how is this possible?"
"Dad, how could I lie to you? It's absolutely true! Senior brother is not only a profound man, he is also very kind to me. He gave me an extremely precious treasure as soon as we met..."
...
Chu Chen holds an important position and cannot stay in Guangping County for a long time.
After attending his junior apprentice's apprenticeship banquet, Chu Chen stopped by to visit Xiucai and Lin Miaoyin, and then went to Guangping Taoist Temple to communicate with the treasure trove of the Immortal Court through the Taoist Temple's altar.
After spending fifty immortal tributes, he successfully redeemed the secret technique of [Tao Tianjun True Form Talisman] and understood the mystery of the "Tao Talisman".
Compared with [Fengdu Demon General Guan Yuanshuai], Chu Chen's fate with [Tao Tianjun] is relatively poor, and there is a situation where "it's all revealed". At first glance, he failed to understand the true form of [Tao Tianjun].
However, Chu Chen was not discouraged.
Recite "Tao Tianjun's Edict", meditate on "Tao Tianjun", and try to understand "the true form of Tao Tianjun, the Five Thunders of Heavenly Medicine".
"Zhixin converts to the ritual of destiny. Xuanhuang chaos, Longhan divides the truth. Three-day Jiuxiao Dharma Division, Hunyuan Thundertian Hospital. Attack the qi and reduce the disease, take charge of the five thunder retribution generals. Regulate the yin and yang, issue orders. Punish evil spirits, bow down ghosts, and save drought. Get rid of demons. Compassion for the people who died in Hengyao, medicine for repair and maintenance. Encourage the thoughts of great compassion and great wishes, cure unknown and uncertified remedies. Resurrect the dead, set off thunder and lightning. Divine power is black, and merits are endless. Marshal of the Heavenly Doctor, Guang Guang True Lord Ji Dahui. Taiyi’s thunder resonates with the Heavenly Lord.”
