Five days later.
The messenger from the Immortal Courtyard flew to the Yuqin Mountain Guards House, and ordered Chu Chen to be transferred to the Southwest Governor's Mansion, the Demonic Academy, to serve as the Demonic Elder (from the fourth grade).
The so-called temporary position means that the Yunzhou Department of Ghosts and Gods and the Supervision Department selected him to serve as a temporary exchange at the Demon Academy of the Governor's Mansion, while retaining his original immortal position.
In other words, Chu Chen is still the deputy governor of Yunzhou Ghost and God Sizhou and the deputy supervisory envoy of Yunzhou.
In fact, he is not the only one, most of the "Bad Demon Elders" and "Bad Demon Deacons" are local state and county officials, ghosts and gods who come to work for exchanges.
The reason is also very simple. The Wan Mo Institute was first established and the dishes had not yet been laid out. The transfer of the former deputy governors of the eight southwest prefectures for temporary exchanges would help the Governor's Mansion to quickly spread the Wan Mo and coordinate the overall situation.
"Zheng Chu, congratulations on your promotion."
Xylophone City Lord Qi Xiuxin came to congratulate him immediately.
In the past few days, the news that the Governor's Mansion has newly established the Demon Academy, which is fully responsible for the inspection and recovery of demons in the eight states, has spread throughout the empire and attracted much attention.
The newly established Demonic Academy has many opportunities for meritorious service, and it is also attracted by the [Border Guard Treasure House]. There are so many people transferred to the Demonic Academy, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is crowded.
"Elder Wandering Demon" has still not been promoted from the fourth rank, but he has been transferred to a key position where he can easily perform meritorious deeds. That is also an enviable improvement.
Chu Chen smiled slightly and asked:
"Fellow Daoist Qi, are you going to the Demonic Academy?"
In the past few years, I have been very happy working with Qi Xiuxin, and Chu Chen is happy to go with him. When the time comes, I will have a capable person on the job.
"this…"
Qi Xiu felt a little moved.
In the past two years, he has seen the terrifying speed of his superior Chu Chen's Taoist cultivation and Taoist magical powers.
Now, he no longer had the embarrassment of "his former subordinate becoming his boss". Instead, he recognized his position clearly and regarded his boss Chu Chen as a "noble person" worthy of following and seeking refuge. Following such a boss will be of great benefit to his future career.
Not to mention, he was also very attracted to the Governor's Mansion, the Demonic Academy.
Just...thinking about the amazing opportunity behind Yuqin Mountain
After Qi Xiuxin hesitated, he shook his head:
"Sufferer Chu, I would like to go, but my master asked me to cultivate a breakthrough in Yuqin Mountain, so don't be impetuous!"
Chu Chen felt like a bright mirror in his heart. Qi Xiuxin's words were probably an excuse. He was still thinking about the great opportunity behind Yuqin Mountain.
Unfortunately, Qi Xiuxin's hope may come to nothing.
Chu Chen glanced at Qi Xiuxin meaningfully and said:
"It doesn't matter, everyone has his own ambitions. Fellow Taoist, I wish you to break through the bottleneck as soon as possible and become one of the great supernatural powers."
"Thank you Daoist friend Chu for your kind words!"
That night.
Chu Chen did not attend the banquet hosted by the subordinates of Yuqin, Qingshi, and Yunxi counties, and left Yuqin Mountain with the little devil and the powerful tiger king on his feet, covered with stars and moon.
He has exactly the same temperament as Taoist Xu Ping, and he dislikes being greeted and sent away the most.
Immortal cultivators enter the mortal world to practice, enter the world without sinking, and retain the freedom and uninhibitedness of practitioners from beginning to end.
Halfway through the journey, there was an eagle cry.
Han Chen came on an eagle and went to the Southwest Governor's Mansion to take up posts with Chu Chen.
The eight southwest states are Yunzhou, Cangzhou, Lanzhou, Muzhou, Chizhou, Yuezhou, Lizhou and Yaozhou.
The Southwest Governor's Mansion is located in Cangzhou, the hinterland of the eight southwest states, adjacent to Yunzhou, two thousand miles away.
For ordinary people, two thousand miles away in the wilderness is a distance that they cannot reach in a lifetime.
But Chu Chen and Han Chen didn't have to rush much. They took their mounts and slowly arrived at the Southwest Governor's Mansion in a few hours.
On the road, being idle was boring. Chu Chen's mind was active and he asked about the Demon Academy.
"Old Han, you are well-informed. I wonder which senior from the Immortal Court is in charge of the Demonic Academy?" Chu Chen learned from his uncle, Yu Xuzi, that he was mainly responsible for military affairs and did not directly govern the Demonic Academy. Instead, the Immortal Court sent another senior official Sit down.
Moreover, in order to balance the situation and prevent the tail of the Governor's Mansion from falling, the sky
The high-achieving seniors sent by Chaoxianting must have great backgrounds.
For this reason, he was quite curious.
Han Chen was not surprised that Chu Chen would ask this question. He had expected it and showed off:
"Senior Chongxu, the great elder of the Immortal Court Central Presbytery, is personally in charge of the Demon Court. From now on, he will be our immediate boss."
"An important minister of the country has arrived!"
Chu Chen was stunned.
He had also heard about this high-achieving senior from Immortal Court.
Taoist Chongxu was born as the master of Sanqing Temple in the imperial capital of the Taoist Holy Land. He is a second-grade Dongzhen Master and the Prime Minister of Jiutian Jinque. He is currently the Grand Elder of the Central Presbytery of Immortal Court and one of the eighteen ministers of the Celestial Dynasty.
In addition to those "old monsters" who have suffered disasters, as well as the innate gods from all over the world, Taoist Chongxu is definitely one of the most powerful people in the world.
Although his magical powers and qualifications are somewhat inferior to those of his uncle Yu Xuzi, his status is similar and he represents the Immortal Court, so he has the qualifications to compete with him.
In other words, the Governor's Mansion and the Demonic Academy are nominally superior and subordinate, but they have a high level of autonomy, just like the relationship between the local county governor, state shepherd and the Department of Ghosts and Gods, each in charge of their own areas.
After the conversation started, Chu Chen and Han Chen talked about the upcoming appointment of the Demon Academy along the way.
After a leisurely few hours, the two arrived at Cangzhou City.
When the Demon Court was first established, there was no suitable place in the city to serve as a government office.
Instead, a large stretch of rolling barren hills on the eastern outskirts of the city was used to build the office of the Demonic Academy.
With the enthusiastic construction of more than 100,000 temple ghost soldiers and a group of earth gods, the Demonic Temple began to take shape.
High-rise buildings and courtyards are built along the mountain, and caves in the back mountain are well-proportioned and unique. The entire Demonic Temple is prosperous and changing with each passing day.
Of course, there are also many people like Chu Chen and Han Chen who come from all over the country to take up their posts, making the already popular Wan Mo Yuan even more lively.
As soon as the two arrived, they were immediately greeted by civil servants.
After they presented the Immortal Court's appointment decree, a golden-armored warrior quickly led the two of them into the mountain gate and to their respective offices.
The Demon Academy has eight divisions, named after the Eight Diagrams.
There is no superior or inferior distinction between the eight tribes, including the cadres, the Kun tribe, the Zhen tribe, the Xun tribe, the Gen tribe, the Dui tribe, the Kan tribe, and the Li tribe, and they are all on the same level.
It's a pity that the two were not assigned to the same department.
Han Chen was transferred to the Zhen Department, and Chu Chen was transferred to the Li Department. Both of them served as "Elders of the Demons" and obeyed the orders of the eight ministers of the Demon Department who were at the third level of cultivation.
However, when the Demon Academy was first established, none of the ministers, deputy ministers, elders of the Demon, deacons of the Demon, etc. came together.
Either he had just arrived or he was on his way to his appointment.
After being busy for an hour, Chu Chen received a small office courtyard and a cave at the headquarters of the Demonic Academy. They were all rough and crude.
"We finally arrived at our new home."
The little ghost boy was very capable and took the initiative to take over the task of cleaning the cave and decorating the new home. It skillfully took the pure yin treasure gourd from its senior brother's waist, pretended to make a secret and recited the incantation:
"The sky is bright, the earth is bright, the water is bright, the fire is bright, my senior brother is the smartest! Spread the beans and you will become an army!"
Wow!
The sky full of fairy beans turned into a yellow scarf warrior.
Under the leadership of the little ghost boy and the ghost general Gao Yuan, they began to decorate the cave and built an alchemy room, a clean room for practice, a reception room, etc., which seemed very skillful.
It is really convenient to possess the magical power of soldiers and horses.
A must-have for home and travel, it can be used for fighting, moving mountains and reclaiming seas, it’s all-round!
Seeing this scene, Chu Chen was quite satisfied and hurriedly left the Demonic Academy. This time, the people from the Demon Court have not arrived yet, so he has nothing to do if he stays.
The same goes for Han Chen. After settling down in the Demonic Courtyard, the two of them came out together. Han Chen asked, "Ling Xiao, my senior brother invites you to come and sit down. Do you want to come with us?"
Chu Chen shook his head: "Let's wait for another day. Next time I will come to visit you in person, so I won't bother you today."
He has a good relationship with Taoist Chonglou, but there is also a higher-ranking elder in Cangzhou, "Master Shuzu Yu".
Kyoshi" is there.
Upon arrival, he had to be the first to meet him, otherwise it would be disrespectful to him.
In addition, he has three pieces of [Chengbian Treasure Token] in his hand, so he just asked Master Yu Xuzi to help him open the [Border Guard Treasure House] and exchange it for [Innate Transformation Qi].
Han Chen nodded slightly.
At this time, he remembered that Chu Chen was from the Guigu branch and came from the same lineage as the Southwest Governor General Yu Xuzi, so he did not continue the invitation and left in a hurry.
Chu Chen said goodbye to Han Chen, and after asking some people on the street, went straight to the Southwest Governor's Mansion.
In front of the Southwest Governor's Mansion, there was a lot of traffic and a long queue of guests to see the Governor. It was an endless stream and extremely lively.
Chu Chen frowned, wondering whether he should queue up directly or jump in line and submit a greeting card.
That's when.
"Boom."
The door of the Governor's Mansion opened, and a heroic general in armor walked out. Under the surprised gazes of the guests outside the mansion, he shrunk to an inch, came to Chu Chen, and smiled: "Junior Brother Zhenyi, you are finally here. "Master, just now I was saying that you are almost here." Chu Chen bowed his hands and said, "I have met my senior brother, but I haven't asked my senior brother for his name yet..."
"Junior brother, there is no need to be polite. My name is Chiyangzi."
Chiyangzi has a handsome face and a burly figure, looking like a brave young general.
"It turns out to be Senior Brother Chiyangzi, whose name I have admired for a long time!"
There was a look of surprise on Chu Chen's face. His words were really not polite. He really had a name that he had admired for a long time.
In fact, this senior brother Chiyangzi is indeed not very old. He is only a year old and about twenty years older than Chu Chen. In the world of immortality, he is definitely a "young man".
This senior brother Chiyangzi belongs to the same generation as him and his sister Chen Wan, and he is also the leader of this generation. He is extremely talented and possesses both basic skills and understanding. He entered the Taoist sect at the age of ten and soon learned the true biography of the immortal [Six Heavenly Secrets]. The inheritance of skills soared into the sky. He quickly stood out among his fellow disciples.
After practicing for more than ten years, I have even caught up with my uncle from the previous generation.
After thirty years of practice, he entered the ranks of great supernatural powers at the age of forty.
Now, more than twenty years have passed, and not long after Shou Yuan passed one year, his Taoist cultivation has reached the late fourth level. He is recognized as a "proud figure" in Guigu's lineage. He has a very high chance of hitting the upper third level and winning the title. The cornerstone of immortality.
All branches of the Guigu lineage call this Chi Yangzi "Elder Brother Guigu", predicting that he will be able to pass on "Yu Xuzi"'s position as Guigu headmaster from one generation to the next and take charge of the Guigu lineage. "Junior brother Zhenyi, you are too polite. Senior brother, I have long admired your name. My ancestor has talked about you many times."
Chiyangzi's face was also full of emotion. He practiced very quickly and his path of cultivation was very smooth, but he was incomparable to Junior Brother Chu from the Guigu Lingshan Sect.
One is a direct lineage of Guigu, and the other is a side branch of Guigu. Both of them have reached great supernatural powers at a young age. They have a sense of "sympathizing with each other" and they talk happily.
It wasn't until they came to the courtyard of the mansion and saw Yu Xuzi that they gave up and all bowed their hands:
"I met my master (granduncle)."
"You two don't need to be polite, come on, sit down!"
Yu Xuzi was dressed in a Bagua Taoist robe. He had white hair and a childish face, and was quite immortal. When he saw Chu Chen, he calmed down the murderous aura that had dominated the battlefield, and put on a kind smile on his face:
"Zhenyi, I heard that Junior Brother Fu Hua and Junior Brother Fu Ling have returned to Lingshan?"
Chu Chen nodded, Lao Lingshan transferred to the cultivation method, and it was a matter of course for his master and uncle to return to the mountain gate. It was not a secret that could not be disclosed.
"Yes, my master and uncle have closed down the barrier of life and death and perfected the practice. Now my Lingshan lineage is finally back on track."
"That's good! This is a happy event for Lingshan, and also a great happy event for our Guigu family." Yu Xuzi nodded slightly, but did not doubt Chu Chen's statement.
He knows some secrets of Lingshan.
The last [Demon Tribulation of the Corpse] was successfully passed without any big trouble, which proves that the Lingshan Sect has indeed successfully transformed and is no longer so dependent on the art of co-cultivation between men and women. Perhaps after this episode, Yu Xuzi paid more and more attention to Chu Chen and the Guigu Lingshan lineage, and tried to win over An.
The meaning of caressing is quite obvious.
The icing on the cake is always better than providing help when it is timely.
At this moment, Chu Chen has reached the realm of great supernatural powers, and small favors and favors are of little significance anymore.
Of course, burning a cold stove is better than not burning it at all.
After some pleasantries, the two parties did get closer.
Yu Xuzi asked with a smile:
"Zhenyi, you got three [Border Guard Treasure Orders], what do you want to exchange for them? This is the first batch of treasure orders for you. There are enough treasures in the treasury. You can choose as you like."
Chu Chen said without hesitation: "Uncle Master, I plan to redeem the [Innate Qi of Transformation]."
Innate form-changing Qi? !
Yuxuzi and Chiyangzi were both stunned. When they heard [Innate Qi of Transformation], they immediately drew inferences and knew the reason.
"Junior brother Zhenyi, are you planning to help your ghost generals gather their souls and break through to the realm of great supernatural powers?"
Chu Chen nodded: "Yes, I have eight ghost generals under my command. They followed me when I first started cultivating immortals. I plan to exchange for the [Innate Qi of Transformation] and cultivate them well."
As military monks and military generals, Yu Xuzi and Chi Yangzi understood Chu Chen's behavior of cultivating his subordinates.
Put it on them and they will do the same.
But...the two of them were surprised that Chu Chen, who had only been practicing for more than ten years, could actually train a fierce general who could use the [Innate Transformation Qi].
"Junior brother Zhenyi, your weapon refining skills are so good. How did you achieve this? I have worked so hard on refining weapons but failed to cultivate a fourth-grade divine general?"
Chi Yangzi was a little shocked.
His skill in refining generals and weapons is considered to be one of the best in the Guigu lineage, but compared to this junior brother Zhenyi, he is far behind.
The divine generals, soldiers and horses in his body are only at the fifth level, which cannot keep up with his cultivation level and are of little use. Moreover, he will not have the time to specialize in training generals and soldiers in the future.
Because of this, he sincerely admired Chu Chen's weapon refining methods. Chu Chen smiled: "Good luck, just good luck."
On the side, Yu Xuzi saw the conversation between the two senior brothers and saw the admiration in Chi Yangzi's eyes. He couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
I am afraid of comparison in everything.
Comparing people with others will make people angry, and comparing goods with goods will cause them to be thrown away.
"Quick weapon refining" involves the heart temple and superior immortal skills.
Chu Chen didn't want to say more in this regard. After a few perfunctory sentences, he changed the subject and said:
"Uncle, senior brother Chiyangzi, where is my sister Wan'er? I heard that she has been transferred to the Governor's Mansion recently to follow orders."
"Wan'er went on an expedition with the army a few days ago. I guess she's almost back to camp today."
Yu Xuzi said casually and counted with his fingers.
Originally, his face was quite calm, but soon, the smile disappeared and he frowned:
"Hmm... I can't count. What happened?"
Chu Chen was slightly startled.
What does this mean?
