In addition to instructing Chu Chen on his practice, discussing Taoism and the realm of great supernatural powers, and answering questions, Mr. Qingzhu also gave him suggestions on where to go in the future.
In fact, the State Taoist Court arranged Chu Chen's whereabouts.
For example, Chu Chen was promoted to the rank of deputy mountain chief of the state, with a rank of fifth rank, enjoying the treatment and errands of fourth rank. He was responsible for preaching and preaching throughout the state, supervising the schools in all counties, and using his ability to preach and teach. Make the most of it.
This job is quite suitable for Chu Chen, and he will surely shine in the future.
There are peaches and plums all over the world, not to mention, accumulated merits and deeds, golden flowers fall from the sky.
However, Mr. Qingzhu just casually mentioned it as the head of the state mountain, and did not intend to promote him immediately. Instead, he suggested that Chu Chen find another way first. It is best to go to a job where he can hone himself, rather than in Xianting Taoist Temple. Everything is done behind closed doors in this small circle.
If there is no suitable candidate for the errand in Xianting for the time being, he will be promoted to "Deputy Mountain Chief of the Prefecture" first and can be filled at any time.
It has to be said that layman Qingzhu really made arrangements from the perspective of cultivating Chu Chen.
Although Chu Chen didn't say anything on the spot, he was quite lucky to have met a "good teacher and friend" like Mr. Qingzhu.
After coming out of the Prefecture Taoist Academy, Chu Chen went straight to the Prefecture Ghosts and Gods Department.
He holds many positions, including the head of the Wanquan Taoist Academy, the supervisor of Wanquan, the deputy governor of the County Ghosts and Gods Department, and the supervisor of the Wanquan garrison.
The errands of the Supervision Department and the Garrison Supervision Army were directly under the jurisdiction of Mr. Mingjing, the prince. He did not dare to disturb the Heavenly Master who was busy with everything, and just reported normally.
After arriving at Zhoucheng, he was greeted by his old friend Xuan Lingzi.
In the past three years or so, Xuan Lingzi has made rapid progress in his Taoist practice. He is now at the sixth level of cultivation and is only one step away from breaking through to the fifth level. Looking at the world of cultivation, those who are all "young leaders" and "genius monks".
However, after being "beaten" after joining the world, Xuan Lingzi became less arrogant and more reserved.
"Fellow Taoist Xuan Lingzi, you are in a harmonious state of mind. In my opinion, your breakthrough to the fifth level of Taoism is just around the corner. Congratulations."
"Thank you Daoist friend Chu for your kind words."
Although Xuan Lingzi knew that these were polite words, he still couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
He is arrogant, and there are not many people who can convince him, and Chu Chen is one of them.
Because of this, Chu Chen's encouragement and approval made him more excited than the encouragement and expectations of other senior superiors.
Not long after, Xuan Lingzi took Chu Chen to a courtyard in the east of the city and met with his old boss Han Chen.
Han Chen was not Xuan Lingzi, but he had good eyesight. When he saw Chu Chen, his face was filled with surprise and surprise:
"Chu Chen, you...you have made a breakthrough, have you reached the perfection of the fifth-level Daoxing Kung Fu?"
Han Chen knew Chu Chen's situation very well. He knew that he had opened up the secret treasure of the physical body in advance, mastered the super-level method, and had perfected the fifth-level cultivation skills, which meant that he had entered the super-level level, and his Taoist and magical powers had undergone a qualitative change.
Chu Chen nodded and admitted, but he felt a little strange.
When his old boss Han Chen heard the news, it was normal for him to be surprised and delighted, but at the moment, his reaction was obviously a bit overwhelming.
"Old Han, what's wrong? Why did you react so loudly?"
"You broke through at the right time."
Han Chen sighed with a smile, and then explained without losing his appetite: "In the past two days, Taoist Qingfeng, who is in charge of Yuqin County, reported to Xianting that he had a chance to make a breakthrough on a whim. No, Xianting is urgently looking for a replacement. His choice."
When Chu Chen heard this, he immediately understood why Han Chen had such a big reaction.
After entering the fifth-grade super-grade level, in the Xianting prefectural division system, he was either promoted to the county governor or transferred to the prefecture division to hold important positions.
Both are at the fifth level and enjoy the treatment from the fourth level.
However, in terms of real power, status, and opportunities for training, the important positions of the state secretary are not comparable to those of the county governor.
The county governors of the eight southwest states are the real feudal officials. Their real power and treatment are comparable to those of the state deputy governors in the middle-earth land, and they have a prominent status.
However, the county and capital management positions in the eight states in the southwest are like carrots and pitfalls.
The performance appraisal period had just passed half a year ago, and there were basically no opportunities left.
Chu Chen had never considered the opportunity to be transferred to a county to be the governor before. He only planned to take up an important position in the Yunzhou Ghosts and Gods Department, to subjugate demons and eliminate demons, and to protect Yunzhou.
I never expected that the opportunity would come like this.
In Chu Chen's heart
Quite pleased.
"Old Han, do you think I have a chance?"
Chu Chen had a clear conscience, and the sudden vacancy of the Yuqin County Governor would probably attract the attention of many people. There must be many immortals from the major sects participating in the competition, including Buddhist disciples of the Buddhist sect.
"Of course you do. Your advantage is not small. In the past few years, your achievements in preaching in the Taoist Academy are obvious to all. You have outstanding abilities and have been in charge of government before. You are fully qualified to compete for the post of Yuqin County Governor."
After Han Chen finished speaking, he nodded again and again, becoming more and more sure of his judgment:
"The most important thing is that a few days ago, when Wanquan prayed for rain, you showed off your magical powers and left a deep impression on all the immortals. You have a great chance of winning the election."
When Chu Chen heard this, he felt hopeful.
In fact, it didn't matter what the county was in charge of, so he just wanted to find his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping. After working on daily errands, the master and apprentice could discuss the master's skills, which would also be helpful for him to break through the realm of great supernatural powers.
Being transferred to Yuqin County can be said to be a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
"Old Han, my master is serving as the mountain chief at Yuqin Taoist Academy. If he can be transferred there, that would undoubtedly be the best choice."
Han Chen knew that Master Chu Chen's disciple, Lingshan Sect, had imperfect mind-cultivation methods, and immediately nodded slightly;
"I will make arrangements for you in the follow-up. You should not go back to Wanquan County for the next two days. You will practice quietly in the State Taoist Academy for two days and wait for news."
"Then I'll just wait for the good news."
Chu Chen smiled and was not polite to Han Chen.
The two of them have long been grasshoppers on the same rope.
Chu Chen's promotion to the capital of Yuqin County was also a big help to Han Chen, the deputy capital of the state. Both parties had the same interests.
After a conversation, Han Chen rushed to the State Ghosts and Gods Division to run errands for Chu Chen.
After Han Chen left, the little ghost who had been hiding in the corner enjoying the scent of the spirit rushed over in a hurry and was quite happy:
"Senior brother, do you really want to be transferred to Yuqin County as the governor? Great, the master is also in Yuqin, can our family be reunited again!"
The little kid was with his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, and was scolded every day. After being scolded, he felt aggrieved and said that he would never get along with his master again.
However, after not seeing him for a while, a certain kid couldn't help but miss his master, and the scars healed and he forgot the pain.
Chu Chen smiled gently: "We haven't changed the horoscope yet, so don't get too happy too early."
The little kid shook his head: "My senior brother is invincible and unparalleled in the world. I would be blind if I didn't choose you for the master of Immortal Court. You can definitely..."
When the words came to light, the kid quickly covered his mouth and slapped himself twice:
"Bah, bah~ I can't speak randomly."
Chu Chen laughed.
After listening to Han Chen's suggestion, Chu Chen did not return to Wanquan County and went to live in the State Daoyuan.
Just before that, layman Qingzhu also suggested that he stay in the state Taoist temple for two days to consolidate his cultivation and continue to give guidance on the cultivation of the great spiritual power realm.
During this period, Chu Chen invited Qingying into his dream and shared the good news with her.
As for his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, Chu Chen has no contact for the time being.
If it happens then, it will give Master a big surprise, right?
…
after one day.
There is a bamboo forest in the mountain behind the state Taoyuan.
The layman Qingzhu explained the meaning of the scriptures to Chu Chen.
Strictly speaking, the two of them were discussing each other.
Over the years, Chu Chen has become good at Taoism and his attainments in Confucian classics have also advanced by leaps and bounds. Occasionally, a single sentence can make layman Qingzhu think about it for a long time, and they can learn from each other and make progress. They are very harmonious.
It was at this time that the messenger from the Immortal Court came and summoned Chu Chen to visit the Yunzhou Ghost and God Department.
Chu Chen was a little surprised: "Sir, is there any chance?"
Master Qingzhu smiled and said, "I have summoned you. Of course there is a role to play. Whether you can succeed or not depends on your ability."
Chu Chen nodded slightly and immediately followed the Immortal Court envoy to the State Ghosts and Gods Department.
…
The imperial palace of the state capital.
Taoist Taihe, the governor of the state, was sitting in the main seat, accompanied by several great supernatural monks such as Han Chen, the deputy governor, and Gao Gong of Xianting. When they saw Chu Chen entering the hall, everyone's eyes fell on him.
For a moment, Chu Chen's hair suddenly stood up, as if a mortal had entered a mountain and was surrounded by a group of wild beasts, staring at him.
A terrifying pressure came from all directions
When Fang Yong came, it seemed like a big mountain was pressing down on him, making him feel even more stressed.
Chu Chen was caught off guard by this "powerful attack" and felt a little uncomfortable at first. After he realized what he was doing, he gathered his body and body, facing the coercion of consciousness from all directions without any fear.
Point to point!
The aura and pressure of the great supernatural power are no small matter. Even though Chu Chen used the power of his soul, it still didn't help.
However, Chu Chen did not give in at all. Even if he was defeated, he stood proudly, with a tenacious will and unyielding determination.
Like a strong bamboo in the strong wind, it remains unmoved as you wreak havoc.
I don’t know how long it took, but Taoist Taihe’s voice sounded in the hall.
"Great kindness!"
Taoist Taoist Taihe looked at the energetic young youngster and felt quite emotional in his heart:
"Fellow Daoist Xiao Chu, congratulations on your passing the Fairy Court selection and entering the list of candidates for the capital management of Yuqin County."
Chu Chen was not surprised that he passed the Immortal Court examination, but he was very surprised when he heard Taoist Taihe, the governor of the state, call him "Fellow Taoist Xiao Chu".
Even, a little flattered.
However, before Chu Chen had time to be happy, the little devil's anxious call came to his ears.
"Brother, be careful."
Chu Chen was naturally alert, and even without the little devil's reminder, he felt the danger.
【Shrink the ground into an inch】
The figure disappears.
The next moment, a giant hand transformed from Gang Qi passed over the place where Chu Chen was just now, tearing the void apart, which was extremely terrifying.
Just now, if Chu Chen hadn't had magical powers and avoided in time, he might have been injured.
What happened? Why did Taoist Taihe, the governor of the state, hurt someone?
What surprised Chu Chen even more was that everything in front of him was pitch black and there was no daylight.
Not long after, the scene around him was no longer the palace of the state capital, but the wilderness.
Just when Chu Chen was astonished, he heard a spiritual message from his old boss Han Chen, and learned the specific situation.
Due to his preaching achievements at Wanquan Taoist Academy and his outstanding performance in praying for rain, he passed multiple rounds of assessments in the Immortal Court, defeating other competitors one after another, and entered the final list of candidates.
However, Xianting's assessment of the governors of the eight southwest prefectures is extremely strict, and they cannot be appointed casually.
There are no problems with resume, ability, and achievements. What needs to be assessed is Taoism, magic, and magical powers.
Although Chu Chen had the record of killing the fifth-grade super-grade red-haired god, no one in the Immortal Court witnessed it with his own eyes.
According to the rules, he needs to pass the assessment and go through the process.
This time, he competed for Yuqin County Governor, but Xianting did not arrange for him to compete with his competitors.
However, the assessment is more difficult.
Taoist Taoist Taihe, the governor of the state, took the examination in person, and the examination process was supervised by several great powers such as Han Chen, the deputy governor of the state, and Gao Gong of Xianting.
"Not bad, he can sense and predict my moves in advance."
Taihe Taoist smiled and said:
"When I take office as the governor of Yuqin County, I will inevitably have to deal with people with great supernatural powers in the future. If I have no ability to fight back, I will not be qualified for this important position."
While speaking, Taoist Taihe suddenly took action again. With the golden light in his hand, a magic talisman with the word "mountain" appeared out of thin air. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a 100-foot mountain and pressed towards Chu Chen on the ground.
"Good fellow, the governor of the state has actually used his natal magical power!"
When Chu Chen saw this, his expression became stern.
The so-called "natural supernatural powers" are obtained by monks with great supernatural powers through their own enlightenment, and the great power is attributed to themselves.
This kind of natal magical power may be strong or weak, and the difference is huge.
The weak ones are not as good as ordinary magical powers, while the strong ones are truly great powers that can penetrate the heavens and earth and frighten ghosts and gods.
However, as long as a monk with great magical powers displays his magical powers, he will be an extremely terrifying existence to Chu Chen, who is a fifth-grade Taoist.
Not to mention, the person who took action was Taoist Taihe, the governor of the state.
A casual use of a small magical power would be a huge threat to Chu Chen, a matter of life and death.
The 100-foot-high mountain that exudes golden light has the magical power of "binding".
Under one shot, Chu Chen was unable to use his escape technique.
Shrunk to an inch, the Five Elements Escape, Cloud Escape, and Mist Escape all failed, and I could only watch helplessly.
Watching the mountains come down.
Obviously, Taoist Du Guan Taihe was testing Chu Chen's ability to face powerful people with great supernatural powers head-on, and prevented him from escaping and evading.
“We can only fight hard.
Chu Chen gritted his teeth in his heart, and a cruel look flashed in his eyes.
His strongest magical powers are still the Immortal Sword Rokko Yagami Qinglong Sword [Rokko Qinglong], and the military magical power [Heisha Grand Marshal].
However, the current situation is urgent, and [Liukji Qinglong] and [Heisha Grand Marshal] are not suitable.
As soon as he thought of this, a clear-yellow divine seal [Tu Xin Spiritual Seal] appeared in Chu Chen's hand. He looked at the hundred-foot mountain in the sky, and then stepped on the mountains and rivers. In his body, [Bone Yuanjun], [Fruit Yuanjun], [Strong Yuanjun], and [Jin Yuanjun] appeared in Chu Chen's hand. Pi Yuanjun] and [Xue Yuanjun] appeared and shouted loudly.
The next moment, Chu Chen's figure skyrocketed out of thin air and turned into a three-foot-tall giant. He raised his foot and kicked.
[Taishan Divine Legs]! ! !
Kicked out, it connected with the ground fire, and the rocks rolled, turning into the shadow of a sacred mountain of flames, with unparalleled power, and rushed towards the hundred-foot mountain.
After enlightening [Jin Yuanjun] and attaining the Great Perfection of the fifth level of Taoism, Chu Chen's [Spirit Embryo Treasure Body] was completed, and his physical body's strength skyrocketed. [Taishan Divine Leg] also underwent a qualitative change, and its power skyrocketed.
Previously, the power of the magical power [Taishan Divine Leg] was much weaker than [Liujia Qingling] and [Heisha Grand Marshal].
At the moment, Chu Chen regards them as magical powers of the same level, each with its own advantages and different scopes of application.
Maybe the [Taishan Divine Leg] is a little weaker than the former, but the power of this magical power belongs to itself, making it more convenient and practical to use.
Chu Chen kicked the "Baizhang Mountain" with one kick.
"boom!"
The next moment, there was a dull collision sound.
The hundred-foot-high mountain flew away, turned into a magical talisman, and flew back into Taoist Taihe's palm.
On the other side, Chu Chen was in a bit of a state of misery. Under the terrifying impact, he was sent flying for several miles and crashed into a mountain peak.
Taoist Taihe, Han Chen and several high-ranking immortals rushed towards Chu Chen's location without saying a word.
However, what surprised the monks with great supernatural powers was that when they rushed over, they saw only clouds and mist steaming in the mountains, but no trace of people.
Taoist Taihe was stunned, a little panicked, and quickly explained to Han Chen and Xianting Gaogong on the side;
"Fellow Taoists, I just saw that he has great magical powers. I haven't contained the power of his magical powers too much, but it certainly won't blast him into the void..."
All the immortal court masters nodded slightly, and they were all very surprised.
Only Han Chen, who was standing aside, had a smile on his face and said:
"Taihe is in charge. Chu Chen probably thought that the assessment was not over yet and used his escape method to escape."
As he said that, Han Chen shouted around:
"Chu Chen, if you pass the test every time you take over the magical power, no one will test your escape technique!"
"You didn't tell me earlier!"
The next moment, in the mountains not far away, a piece of green grass suddenly transformed into a human form.
Surprisingly, it was Chu Chen.
At this moment, Chu Chen looked quite miserable, with injuries all over his body, but he looked good, but his Yuan Qi was a little bit damaged, and he was not seriously injured.
"I've seen Taihe and I'll take care of it, seniors."
Taihe Taoist was quite surprised when he saw this and said with a smile:
"Xiao Chudao has the magical power of friendship, and you are the one who controls this Yuqin County."
All the masters of the Immortal Court nodded in unison. They were able to take on the magical powers of the great magical monks head-on, and they also had amazing escape and change magical powers to mediate with the powerful masters of magical powers. They were fully qualified for the post of county governor.
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
Chu Chen and Xiao Guizai were overjoyed when they saw the recognition of all the immortal court masters.
Especially the little kid was so happy that he danced with joy.
"Senior brother, it's done! I will be extremely surprised when I find out!"
