Yunzhou Taoist Temple, a clean room for practice.
Chu Chen sat cross-legged and adjusted his breath to heal his injuries.
In a fight with Taoist Taoist Taihe, the governor of the state, he used all his strength and used the super-grade technique [Taishan Divine Leg] without reservation.
However, the gap between the two sides is a bit big.
He was injured in a single confrontation, and he was not an enemy at all.
However, he is not depressed.
Taoist Taihe, the governor of the state, is not an ordinary monk with great supernatural powers. Among the four levels of Taoism, Taoist Taihe is one of the top beings.
Being able to receive Taoist Taihe's magical powers, Chu Chen gained a better understanding of his own Taoist magical powers.
He couldn't beat Taoist Taihe, but if he was an ordinary monk with great supernatural powers, he would definitely be able to survive two attacks.
Witnessed by a group of immortal court masters, Chu Chen passed the examination of Taoist Taoist Taihe, the governor of the state, and it was a certainty that he won the title of governor of Yuqin County.
On the same day, the order from Xianting came down.
Also sent with the transfer order were the [Yuqin Duguan Order] and [Tiju City God Seal].
As long as he holds the transfer order, Chu Chen can take up the post of governor of Yuqin County, take charge of the affairs of demons and gods, and reach a new peak in his spiritual practice.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Congratulations, senior brother, congratulations, senior brother!"
The little devil had been waiting for this moment for a long time. When he saw the messenger from the Immortal Court leaving, he kowtowed without saying a word.
"Senior brother, this is a big happy event. You can't just give me away with two sticks of incense."
Chu Chen asked: "How many do you want?"
The little kid scratched his head, feeling a little confused. Finally, he thought about it and stretched out his hands:
"I want ten!"
"Hahaha, okay."
Chu Chen couldn't laugh or cry.
Recently, the little devil has started to learn arithmetic, but its arithmetic relies entirely on its hands, and ten fingers is its limit.
In fact, if the kid asked for more, Chu Chen, who was in a good mood, would certainly give it without hesitation.
Being promoted to the governor of Yuqin County was indeed a great event for him.
He was transferred from the mountain chief and supervisor of Wanquan Taoist Academy to the director of the Ghost and God Division of Yuqin County. There was no change in rank, but it was a big step forward.
The county capital is in charge of the administration of a place and has jurisdiction over the affairs of demons, ghosts and gods. This is the real power errand.
Not to mention anything else, among the five-level immortal positions, the status and benefits of the county governor are the highest.
The salary of a Taoist mountain chief and a county supervisor is 30,000 jade coins and 40 immortal tributes a year;
The annual salary of the county governor reaches 50,000 jade coins and 50 immortal tributes.
This is still the salary treatment of ordinary county governors.
The eight southwest states are border counties. The level of the county capital is half a level higher than that of the middle-earth land. The level is the fifth rank, but the salary they enjoy is that of a fourth-rank immortal official. The annual salary is jade. One hundred thousand dollars and one hundred immortal tributes.
After Chu Chen was transferred to be in charge of the Ghosts and Gods Department of Yuqin County, although he resigned from other part-time jobs, his annual salary did not decrease but increased.
This is only in terms of salary and remuneration.
What has really changed a lot is the real power aspect.
Previously, Chu Chen had a lot of titles, including Taoist Mountain Chief, Supervisory Envoy, County Deputy Governor, and Guards Supervisor. The only things that were really under his jurisdiction were one-third of an acre of Wanquan Taoist Temple and Wanquan. Inspection Division.
There are quite a few people in the Inspection Department, but since it is an intelligence agency, the identities of the members in the Inspection Department are kept secret. They usually stay dormant in various places to gather information.
There are three or two big cats and kittens under his hands, and there is no master at all.
Things were different after becoming the governor of Yuqin County, and the people under his jurisdiction had undergone qualitative changes.
The Department of Ghosts and Gods of Yuqin County is under the jurisdiction of the Four Courts of Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang, and the deans of each hospital are concurrently served by the deputy governor of the county who is a fifth-level Taoist practitioner.
There are eight important cities at the "Deputy County City" level in the entire county. Each of these important cities is headed by a county deputy governor with a fifth-grade Taoist cultivation level, who oversees the county's Ghosts and Gods Division.
Not to mention anything else, there are as many as a dozen fifth-grade Taoist priests who are directly under the jurisdiction of Chu Chen.
Not to mention, the city gods and the gods of mountains, rivers and land from all over the world...
In addition, there are hundreds of large and small Guanzhen villages, governed by immortal officials with sixth- and seventh-grade Taoist cultivation...
The number of people under Chu Chen's command suddenly increased several times, and the scope of his jurisdiction suddenly increased several times, and his status and real power were completely different.
------------------
The order from Xianting was urgent, so Chu Chen did not delay and drove the five-color auspicious clouds back to Wanquan County that day.
After the settlement of Wanquan County and Wanquan Taoist Temple, Chu Chen declined the banquet given by his former colleagues and rushed to Yuqin County with Hu Dali, his disciples Guang Gengsheng and Chu Baiqing without saying a word.
As for Qingying…
After learning the news two days ago, Qingying had great confidence in Chu Chen. She immediately packed up the Ying Palace of Wanquan Taoist Academy and rushed to Yuqin County that day to select a location and prepare to move the Diyuan Chamber of Commerce.
On the way, Guang Gengsheng and Chu Baiqing were very excited when they heard the whole story.
Xu is a "relative of another generation". Taoist Master Xu, who has always been serious and old-fashioned, dotes on his two disciples, and the two little guys like their master very much.
Chu Baiqing: "Master, when we transfer to Yuqin Taoist Academy, doesn't it mean that we will practice with our master in the future?"
Chu Chen nodded slightly: "That's right, I have been appointed as the governor of Yuqin County as my master. I don't have as much free time to guide you as before. In the future, you will practice with my master."
"Great." Chu Baiqing was overjoyed when he heard this and was very happy.
Chu Chen: "..."
Guang Gengsheng on the side also spoke at this moment and said:
"Master, many of my classmates have entered the Immortal Palace of Ghosts and Gods Department to gain experience. When will Bai Qing and I also enter the Immortal Court to gain experience?"
In the past six months, the two apprentices have made great progress in their Taoist practice.
Guang Gengsheng successfully broke through and entered the eighth level of Taoism. His cultivation has been steady and steady, step by step, extremely solid. His performance in magic and magical powers is even better. Recently, he has learned the [Tiger Seal], which includes killing magical powers, escape techniques, and weapon refining. Not bad in all aspects, his Taoist, magical and magical powers are outstanding among those at the same level.
Chu Baiqing is even more incredible.
Two months ago, Chu Baiqing broke through to the eighth level of Taoism. Now his cultivation has surpassed that of his senior brother Guang Gengsheng. He is also extremely talented in the martial arts of water, thunder, cloud, wind and other magical powers. He can master it as soon as he learns it, as if he was born with it. It will be average.
Of course, nothing in the world is perfect.
Although Chu Baiqing's talent is high, except for the magical powers related to the dragon water god, his talent in practicing other magical powers is not as good as Guang Gengsheng's.
Chu Chen's involvement is extremely broad, and the person who can truly inherit his legacy must be Guang Gengsheng, who has outstanding understanding and comprehensiveness.
Both apprentices have their own advantages and have different requirements at each stage.
At present, Chu Chen is very satisfied with the performance of his two apprentices.
"You don't encounter any bottlenecks right now. It's not too late to practice until you reach the seventh level of Taoism. "
Chu Chen gave an order casually.
Borderlands and counties are different from those in the Middle Earth.
At the beginning, Chu Chen entered the Immortal Courtyard to practice his ninth-grade Taoist training, but the border counties were more chaotic and more dangerous. The two apprentices were both talented and did not encounter any bottlenecks at the moment, so there was no need to rush out to practice.
Of course, the main reason is that the Lingshan Sect has become more and more prosperous in recent years.
If he enters the realm of great supernatural powers and has a powerful person with great supernatural powers at his command, Lingshan Sect will be able to take advantage of the situation and become one of the "big sects of immortal sects".
When the time comes, Guang Gengsheng will enjoy the treatment of a true disciple of the core of the Immortal Sect of the great sect, enter the Immortal Court through the "Special Recruitment of the Immortal Court", and start as a seventh-grade immortal official.
There is no need to work step by step from a ninth-grade immortal official like Chu Chen did back then.
…
Chu Chen drove the five-color auspicious clouds, led Hu Dali, Guang Gengsheng, and Chu Baiqing, and headed straight for Yuqin County.
He did not go straight to Yuqin County to take office, but went to Yuqin Taoist Temple to meet his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping.
"(Master) Master~"
When Guang Gengsheng and Chu Baiqing saw Taoist Xu Ping, they were all very happy and bowed one after another.
Taoist Master Xu Ping was in a good mood when he saw his disciples and disciples, and he greeted the group of people to go to his cave.
Chu Baiqing and Guang Gengsheng were quite familiar with Yuqin Taoist Temple and had made friends. After greeting each other, they disappeared.
"Disciple, why do you have time to bring Gengsheng and Bai Qing to my place today?"
Under normal circumstances, regardless of the dismissal or replacement of such important errands, Immortal Court will announce it in advance and make it public. It is not a secret matter for the middle and high-level officials of Immortal Court.
However, this time, the Yuqin County Governor had an opportunity for a breakthrough, and Xianting was urgently looking for a replacement. All aspects were expedited, and the outside world did not know about it.
Even many people in Yuqin County did not know that Taoist Qingfeng had resigned from the county to take charge of this matter when he encountered a breakthrough opportunity.
Seeing that his master didn't know anything, Chu Chen smiled and said:
"Master, do you have water veins in Yuqin Taoist Temple that can help Bai Qing become a god? I plan to ask Zhengsheng and Bai Qing to come to Yuqin Taoist Temple to practice with you."
Chief Xu Ping was confused:
"Disciple, why is this? Good luck, you..."
While speaking, Taoist Xu Ping's eyes fell on his apprentice. Xu had seen something, and his face was full of surprise.
"Disciple, you enlightened [Sujigen-kun], and the fifth level of Taoism has been completed!"
The master and disciple's skills are from the same origin, and Taoist Xu Ping thought that he would not be mistaken.
For a moment, Taoist Xu Ping's mood was a little complicated. He had just enlightened three fifth-grade Yuanjun, and the fourth fourth-grade Yuanjun would not be able to be enlightened until the year of the monkey... The disciple had completely thrown him away.
"I see."
Taoist Xu Ping was surprised, but he understood immediately.
My eldest disciple has already mastered the super-level technique and enlightened the [Leg Yuanjun]. Once he breaks through, the Immortal Court will start to promote him.
For a moment, Taoist Xu Ping suddenly became interested and said:
"Disciple, do you mean that you will step down as the head of Wanquan Taoist Academy? Where does Xianting plan to transfer you? Is it to the state or local level?"
Just as Chu Chen was about to speak, there was a sudden gloomy wind in his robe, and a ghostly aura flew out from the pure Yin gourd at his waist.
It's the little devil.
"Master, I know this. Senior brother has been transferred to Yuqin County as the county governor. In the future, our family can be reunited again." "
Taoist priest Xu Ping was shocked when he heard this. He was very surprised and said:
"This...how is this possible? Qingfeng Guan is doing a good job. Why does Xianting need to change people? Disciple, what is going on?"
Chu Chen smiled and explained: "Master, it's like this. Fellow Taoist Qingfeng has an opportunity to break through. Xianting appointed me to act as the governor of Yuqin County to take charge of the affairs of demons and gods. The matter is urgent and has not been announced yet. I believe the news will spread tomorrow. Already."
"Yeah~ Not bad, not bad!" "
Taoist priest Xu Ping suddenly realized what he said, but he didn't mean what he said.
The disciple has entered the fifth-grade super-grade and received an exceptional promotion from the Immortal Court. It is a natural joy to be a master... except that the disciple has been transferred to Yuqin County.
The kid on the side saw the master and apprentice talking and ignored him, so he opened his curious eyes and asked for advice.
"Master, senior brother, is the mountain chief of Yuqin Taoist Temple lower than the governor of the county? Senior brother has become the governor of Yuqin County and has jurisdiction over the affairs of demons and gods in the entire county. Doesn't he become the master's immediate boss?"
Chu Chen smiled strangely: "..."
Taoist priest Xu Ping's smile froze: "..."
…
The little devil finally managed to get his brains working, but unfortunately, this did not bring him good luck.
On the contrary, the little kid ran out of the clean room crying. The incense burner he was holding in his hand was gone, the incense that his senior brother had just given him was gone, and even the "private money" he had worked so hard to save was gone. He was crying so hard. Call one sad.
Without the little kid to disturb them, Chu Chen, Taoist Master Xu Ping and his disciples experienced the initial embarrassment, and things became much more natural later on.
The master and apprentice did not talk much about the errands of the Immortal Court, but paid more attention to the Lingshan Sect's practice methods.
Previously, Taoist Master Xu Ping deduced the sect's cultivation method [Qi Gathering and Form Refining], and deduced [Hunyuan Xuan Gong] to the fifth level.
As for the subsequent practice method, it is limited to the limited practice of Taoist Master Xu Ping and has not yet been perfected.
However, the method of Lao Lingshan Sect is a complete immortal skill, which can be used as a great reference for [Hunyuan Tianxin Xuan Gong] and [Hunyuan Xuan Gong].
Immediately, Chu Chen couldn’t wait to ask for advice:
"Master, what is the fourth level of the "Hunyuan Xuan Gong" of our Lingshan sect? What is the next step in enlightenment?"
Taoist priest Xu Ping was very pleased to see his apprentice respectfully asking for advice. He stroked his beard and said:
"According to the cultivation methods of the Lao Lingshan School, the third level of cultivation focuses on laying the foundation, the fifth and sixth levels of cultivation of the lower dantian focus on refining the form, the third and fourth levels of cultivation of the lower dantian focus on refining the softness, in order to enlighten the Jiang Palace, meridians and acupoints. You all are important. "
"Once you break through the fourth level of Taoism, you can enlighten hundreds of veins and apertures. The tyranny of our Lingshan sect will be fully demonstrated. Tens of gods will stand by you, and your domineering power will be unparalleled!"
Speaking of this, Taoist Xu Ping's face was full of pride.
The reputation of the Lingshan Sect in Dachang Dynasty is not well known. It is a little-known sect in the eyes of many people. However, as a Lingshan native, he knows very well that the Lingshan Sect is not inferior to other sects at all. It is a serious inheritance of immortals. , the magical power of the Dharma Gate is unique and extremely powerful.
Chu Chen was quite shocked after hearing this.
Hundreds of meridians and apertures, and all the gods standing by are naturally empty words. It means that all the major meridians and acupoints in the body have gods, and through enlightenment, one can have boundless magic power.
If combined with the super-grade technique [Taishan Divine Leg] learned by Chu Chen, it would definitely be an earth-shattering magical power.
This further confirms what my master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, said back then.
Apart from being a little unorthodox, the Lao Lingshan sect's cultivation methods are no worse than the top cultivation methods and even the immortal skills of the big sect of the Immortal Sect in other aspects. The further you go, the more powerful the methods become.
"Master, how can we break through to the realm of great supernatural powers? I heard Senior Qingzhu say that the key to the realm of great supernatural powers is to refine the spirit."
"Yes, our Lingshan sect practices the three-dantian and three-yuan spiritual method. It is different from other methods. It breaks through the realm of great supernatural powers and focuses on the word heart...the heart of the husband, the master of the body, the commander of hundreds of gods, and the manifest king of the heart. , you can break through the realm and rule the gods with hundreds of veins and apertures..."
------------------
The two masters and disciples answered questions and doubts, and discussed immortality, which was very lively.
After some discussion, Chu Chen returned home with a full load and gained a lot.
As the master, Taoist Master Xu Ping sat quietly in the clean room, trapped in tangles.
Taoist priest Xu Ping's face was full of struggle,
The master is a serious monk with great supernatural powers. With his guidance, it will be much easier for his disciple Chu Chen to break through the realm of great supernatural powers, but...
"Do you want Master to give me some guidance..."
