Chu Chen's escape skills are so good that even if he doesn't deliberately conceal his aura, it would be difficult for others to see his true cultivation.
That is to say, only the elders of the sect, or people whose Taoist cultivation level is one level higher than him, can see something. These days, Chu Chen is walking around in the Demon Academy, and there are only a few people who can really get a glimpse of the depth of his cultivation level. .
Because of this, when Chu Chen sat on the deputy minister's throne in the Libu Council Hall, there were many exclamations in the hall, and everyone's eyes were in disbelief.
Chu Chen smiled slightly and no longer covered it up. Hundreds of gods appeared in his body, and the gods stood at his side.
At this moment, Da Ma Jin Dao was sitting on the seat, looking like a giant beast from the wild, terrifying, depressing, and domineering.
"boom!"
There were exclamations in the hall again. Many people may have seen Chu Chen's strength, and their faces were full of disbelief.
"The fourth level of Dzogchen, no, I must have practiced the super level method..."
Taoist Feilong and Master Li Guang's uncle and nephew looked at each other in shock. They couldn't believe it and didn't want to believe that all this was true.
Three years ago, Chu Chen was only in the middle stage of the fourth stage. In just a few years, he not only entered the late stage of the fourth stage, but even reached the perfection of the fourth stage Taoist Kung Fu. This cultivation Kung Fu was three points more exaggerated than the practice of Demonic Kung Fu. Taoist Feilong and Li Guang naturally disliked Chu Chen's kindness, and subconsciously felt that Chu Chen had practiced evil skills and evil methods, which was why he had such Taoist cultivation.
As a result, the two unwilling consciousnesses fell on Chu Chen, trying to catch clues from Chu Chen's aura that he was practicing evil skills and heresy.
However, to their disappointment, Chu Chen's aura was peaceful, and his whole body exuded Xuanmen magic. Not to mention a trace of evil energy, he didn't even say much about impetuous energy.
Even the three-light Zhengqi and Tianxin magic power in Chu Chen's body are more pure than before, faintly echoing the magic power in their bodies.
Li Guang couldn't help but send a message with his spiritual consciousness: "Uncle Master, did Chu Chen get the method of our Tianxin lineage from somewhere? I always feel that he has an inexplicable aura about him."
Taoist Feilong looked extremely ugly and felt inexplicably irritable.
Chu Chen's Taoist practice has improved rapidly, and he is suspected to have inherited the Tianxin lineage. If this continues, everything will be bad.
In the world of spiritual practice, Taoism and cultivation are the most convincing.
After showing off his extraordinary Taoist cultivation of the fourth grade, none of the demon elders and deacons in the hall raised any doubts. Chu Chen introduced himself, and after making an appearance, he officially became the deputy minister of the fourth grade, ranking in the Li Department. fourth.
This "fourth" is only ranked according to old and new qualifications, behind Taoist Feilong and Taoist Konggu. In fact, the status of the three is similar, and there is no distinction between them.
The three of them are all alternate elders of the Central Presbytery. They hold the rank of fourth-grade immortal. Their levels are all the same. Even the division of labor is actually similar.
Taoist Feilong has the deepest cultivation level and the most senior qualifications. He is in charge of the first and second classes of the Li Bu. When the Master is not in the Li Bu, he takes charge of the Li Bu on behalf of the Master. He is the second-in-command of the Li Bu in the real sense, with a slightly higher status. Three years ago, Kong Gu Shanren was in the late fourth-grade stage and was only one step away from the Great Perfection. In the past two years, he had reached the fourth-grade Great Perfection and practiced the super-grade method. His strength was extraordinary. Now he is in charge of the third class of Libu, Class 4;
As the newly promoted deputy minister, Chu Chen naturally cannot take the jobs of the other two vice ministers.
As a result, Master Huixin transferred some deacons from the remaining four classes, and asked Xianting for people, and planned to establish the fifth and sixth classes of Libu, and put them in charge of Chu Chen.
In fact, the specific errands done by the elder and the deputy minister are similar, which is nothing more than to subjugate and eliminate demons.
However, after becoming a member of the leadership and having subordinate departments in charge, his demon deacons slayed demons and demons. As the deputy minister in charge, he naturally deserves credit for strategizing and commanding properly.
In other words, even if Chu Chen did not kill a demon with great supernatural powers, he would still have performed meritorious deeds every month.
Although demons are raging in the eight southwest states, there are always only a few demons with great magical powers killed, and most of the demons killed are fifth grade and below.
Becoming the deputy minister of the Li Ministry is equivalent to ensuring the harvest despite droughts and floods.
It is much more comfortable than the "Elder of the Demon" that I served as before.
Of course, there are many benefits after promotion.
The corresponding responsibilities are even greater. Whenever there is a difficult problem, just wait for Chu Chen, Taoist Feilong and other deputy ministers to come.
After the morning meeting, Chu Chen moved into a side courtyard of the Libu compound and officially joined the core leadership of the Libu compound of the Demonic Academy.
This is indeed a happy event.
However, everything is difficult at the beginning.
When Class 5 and Class 6 were started, they were lacking everything, especially people. There were very few available people. Konggushanren is quite interesting.
At noon that day, he transferred manpower from the third and fourth squads of the Li Department that he was in charge of and sent them to Chu Chen. Among them were many deacons and demon envoys who had good performance and were rated as top-notch in the evaluation.
This is because Chu Chen and Konggu Shanren have a good relationship. In addition, Chu Chen's strength is improving rapidly and his journey to immortality is far-reaching. Konggu Shanren is more and more willing to get close to him and take the initiative to show his goodwill.
That was different for Taoist Feilong. The manpower assigned to Chu Chen were all from the first and second classes of the Libu Department.
After handing the person over, Taoist Feilong was probably secretly happy.
"Senior brother, that Taoist Feilong is really bad. After my senior brother achieves great supernatural powers, he must go to the restaurants of the northern and southern sects of Tianxin to let them know who is the authentic sect of Tianxin."
The little devil was jealous of evil, holding the roster in his hand, pouted, and muttered something.
Chu Chen smiled, and just as he was about to say something, a message from his spiritual consciousness came to his ears.
Immediately, he smiled slightly and stood up to greet him.
"Old Han!"
In a flash, Han Chen's figure appeared in the courtyard.
"Ling Xiao, congratulations!"
Han Chen cupped his hands to congratulate and said congratulations, but he couldn't hide the complicated emotions on his face:
"Hey~ It's only been three years, how come you have become the deputy director of the Li Department? I didn't join the Li Department with you originally, otherwise you would be my boss now."
Although Han Chen was joking, he was still a little disappointed.
A subordinate who was once a subordinate suddenly climbed above him. Even though Han Chen was open-minded and casual, he still felt a little unhappy at this moment.
When the little devil heard this, he was always upright and serious. Without thinking, he blurted out: "Brother Han, what you said is wrong. Everyone is affiliated with the Demon Academy. Even if you are in the earthquake department, my senior brother is also your superior." , you still have to salute my senior brother."
Han Chen: "..."
"Hahahaha~"
"Tongyanwuji, Lao Han, it is still a child, don't be as knowledgeable as it..."
Chu Chen smiled and pulled Han Chen to sit down at the octagonal pavilion in the courtyard, boil water to make tea, and chat with Han Chen. Speaking of which, Han Chen's Taoist cultivation has been quite gratifying in the past three years. Although his cultivation has not been promoted to the late stage, he has great Taoist and magical powers. He defeated the strong with the weak and killed a fourth-level late stage monster with great magical powers, which made him famous. , which can be regarded as a great reputation.
A year ago, the Immortal Central Elder Council added him as an alternate elder, and he finally had half a foot in the Immortal Central Center.
Han Chen took a sip of the spiritual tea produced by Diyuan Dragon Palace and was quite satisfied and said:
"Ling Xiao, how does it feel to return to the Demonic Academy and serve as the deputy minister of the fourth rank?"
Chu Chen shook his head: "It's not bad, but the people under his command are all good and bad. There are only a few big cats and two small cats." "Everything is difficult at the beginning. It's normal."
Han Chen smiled, knowing quite a bit about it, and said: "The troops assigned to you by the Ministry are definitely not good. The deployment in Immortal Court depends purely on luck. In my opinion, you might as well mobilize your former colleagues and subordinates yourself Come and help you."
"That's what I'm planning on doing."
Chu Chen nodded slightly. Over the years, he had served as the head of the Taoist Academy. He had been in charge of local affairs many times. He had countless disciples and former officials, and he had no shortage of connections.
In fact, even if Han Chen didn't say anything, he would contact her later.
Han Chen saw Chu Chen deep in thought and looking calculating. He might have guessed something and said with a smile, "Ling Xiao, looking at you, it seems like you really don't know."
Chu Chen was confused and didn't understand the meaning of Han Chen's words: "Old Han, what do you know?" Han Chen did not whet his appetite and explained:
"Xuan Lingzi, Wang Ping, little monk Yuantong, Qian Sangua, Lin Miaoyin and others have transferred to the Demon Academy. You
If you have a good relationship with them, you can call them to help you. "
"Have they also transferred to the Demon Academy?"
Chu Chen had a look of astonishment on his face. In the past three years, in order to avoid revealing his identity, he summoned the Dragon and Tiger Emperors to take revenge. He did not visit relatives or friends to avoid implicating others.
Because of this, he didn't pay much attention to the current situation of his former friends.
In fact, when he was short of manpower, he immediately thought of Xuan Lingzi and Wang Ping, but he also had some concerns. After all, the Demon Academy was more dangerous than the local Ghosts and Gods Department.
But now, his former friends and colleagues came to the Demonic Academy, and he invited them, so he had no scruples.
That night, there was Manyun Restaurant in Cangzhou City.
Chu Chen met Xuan Lingzi, Wang Ping, Monk Yuantong, Qian Sangua, Lin Miaoyin and others. Friends and colleagues from the past gathered together, and both parties were quite sad and surprised.
The reason why Chu Chen was surprised was because the five of them, Wang Ping, had been honing their skills in the wild land over the years, and each of them had greatly improved their cultivation, breaking through to the fifth level one after another.
Even Lin Miaoyin, who had the lowest level of cultivation before, has broken through the fifth level of Taoism and is quite powerful. Of course, compared to Chu Chen, the ones who were really surprised were Xuan Lingzi and Wang Ping. Seven years ago, they were extremely shocked when they learned that Chu Chen had become one of the great supernatural powers. But now, they learned from Han Chen that Chu Chen had become a fourth-grade immortal official and was promoted to deputy director of the Li Department of the Demon Academy. A surprise.
Over the years, they have traveled to the local Ghosts and Gods Department and the Demon Academy, and have gained extraordinary insights. Naturally, they understand what it means to be the deputy director of the Eight Demon Departments.
Being qualified to serve as "Deputy Minister" indicates that even among those with great supernatural powers, Chu Chen is one of the top ones and has truly reached the pinnacle of the spiritual world.
Perhaps the news was so shocking that even Wang Ping, who had always been "acquainted with him", became a little reserved. Instead of holding hands and calling each other brothers as before, he swallowed his saliva and asked:
"Ling Xiao...are you one of the top cultivators with magical powers right now? What level are you at among the cultivators with great magical powers?"
Xuan Lingzi, Monk Yuantong, Qian Sangua, Lin Miaoyin and others were also quite curious and looked at Chu Chen.
Chu Chen is not a person who likes to show off his force and boast to his friends. However, this time he not only chatted with his friends, but also recruited assistants. He pondered for a while and said with a smile:
"I can't say that I have top-level magical powers, but I am worthy of anyone with my third-grade magical powers or below!" These words may seem light and frivolous, but anyone with a little discernment can hear the strong confidence revealed in them.
Han Chen couldn't help but look sideways when he heard this, and was greatly surprised.
Not to mention Wang Ping, Xuan Lingzi and the others.
Qian Sangua played with the copper coins in his hand and said with emotion: "I still think about one day reaching the realm of great supernatural powers and catching up. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up in this life."
Monk Yuantong shook his head: "Amitabha~Three Hexagrams, I'm afraid you are overthinking. Maybe one day Ling Xiao will attain enlightenment and fly into the sky, but you haven't broken through to become a great god yet."
"Hahahaha~"
Everyone laughed when they heard the words, and the atmosphere of joy filled the elegant rooms of the restaurant.
Monk Yuantong's joke suddenly brought everyone closer together, as if they were transported back to the days when we worked together in Guangping County, Qingzhou. The atmosphere was quite good.
During the banquet, Chu Chen mentioned that Li was short of people and asked Wang Ping, Xuan Lingzi and others to help him. The five people did not hesitate and agreed without saying a word. They were very happy.
Wang Ping, in particular, was the most lively. He said that he came to the Demon Court just because of Chu Chen, and was waiting for this day, shouting "Don't forget Yunyun if you want to be rich and noble."
After a banquet, the guests enjoyed themselves.
Wang Ping and the other five acted vigorously and resolutely. After the banquet, they planned to go back to their respective ministries to apply for transfer and defect to Chu Chen.
The high platform of Manyun Restaurant.
The strong wind is blowing, and the clothes are rustling.
Han Chen looked at the departing figures of the five people and looked at the bright lights of Cangzhou City. He smiled and said: "Ling Xiao, with their help and contacting a few former colleagues, you will soon be able to stand firm in the Li Department." heel."
"Hmm~"
Chu Chen nodded slightly, with a complicated expression.
Getting together with friends is a great and joyful event.
At first, he was very excited to see his former friends and colleagues, but afterwards, he felt a little melancholy for no reason.
People are still the same people.
However, for some reason, he and Wang Ping, Xuan Lingzi and others lost their topic of conversation and became estranged.
Although they were chatting and laughing happily during the greetings, after the separation, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely inside. The person is obviously close in front of him, but the distance between the two parties is getting farther and farther.
For a moment, he couldn't help but feel lost!
Seeing that Chu Chen was silent, Han Chen probably guessed something and felt the same way, saying: "Ling Xiao, the strong are destined to be lonely. There are many friends in life who are destined to not be able to accompany you to the end. This is not something you can change. , I used to be just like you. My brothers and sisters who were doing homework at the same time were all left far behind by me, and I had fewer and fewer friends."
After saying that, Han Chen sighed heavily.
This sigh is full of vicissitudes and emotions.
Chu Chen looked sideways and saw that Han Chen was touched, his eyes full of sighs, and he immediately smiled. For a moment, he felt much better.
After all, compared to Han Chen, he had Ying'er as his companion, so he was no better than Han Chen.
After some comparisons, Chu Chen felt relieved. He thought of something and asked with a smile:
"Old Han, you must have something to do when you come to see me today. Otherwise, according to your temperament, you will definitely not come to this banquet."
Han Chen nodded when he heard this. Perhaps he remembered something, and his face showed excitement:
"That's right. Last time, thanks to your help in the Qingyou Demon Realm, I gained a lot. This time, I have a good thing for you."
