All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 79: Newly adult, not good at fighting, afraid of workplace violence.

"Lord Xiao." The female warrior entered the room, first bowing to Xiao Kang, then looking at Zhou Qing beside her and nodding with a smile.

"My name is Yao Xuewei, Demon Suppressor of the Demon Suppression Division."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing's eyes flashed. Yao Xuewei looked to be only in her early twenties, yet she was already a Demon Slayer.

To become a Demon Slayer, one must be at least at the Bone Refining Realm.

"My name is Zhou Qing. I have just met Lord Yao." Seeing Yao Xuewei's friendly attitude, Zhou Qing also smiled.

Before he arrived, Wei Sheng explained the basic situation of the Demon Suppression Division to him.

Joining the Demon Suppression Division would give him a backer in the short term and provide him with another channel to obtain intelligence and resources.

The Demon Suppression Division is an organization of the imperial court. Although the imperial court does not have a high degree of control over the southern border, the Demon Suppression Division has an advantage in intelligence that is difficult for other forces to match.

Currently, the warriors in the Demon Suppression Division of the prefecture city are divided into five levels from low to high: patrol inspector, patrol inspector, demon suppressor, demon subjugator, and adjutant general.

Strength corresponds to four levels of a martial artist: skin, flesh, tendons, and bones, as well as the Blood Exchange Realm.

However, even if you reach a certain level of strength, you still need to complete a certain number of tasks to advance your level and improve your benefits.

After joining the Demon Suppression Division, you can leave the division at any time as long as you don't reach the third level of Demon Suppression Envoy.

To advance to the level of Demon Suppressor, breaking through to the Tendon Refining stage is only a basic requirement.

The most crucial point is that there can be no criminal record for three generations of ancestors, which can be described as an otherworldly version of "political vetting".

Most members of the Demon Suppression Division are descendants of the imperial court's direct line of power, succeeding their fathers.

Strictly speaking, patrol inspectors and patrol officers can only be considered as non-staff personnel.

Although Wei Sheng left in a hurry, he was indeed a competent mentor, taking into account Zhou Qing's short-term arrangements.

“According to the rules, although you have already broken through the flesh barrier, you still have to start from the lowest level of inspector.” Yao Xuewei nodded.

"I will follow Lord Yao's instructions." Zhou Qing said respectfully. Although he had Wei Sheng's connections, he still had to be cautious when dealing with a Bone Refining Realm martial artist.

"I'll arrange for an inspector to show you around. As for the tasks, they'll mostly involve patrolling the area, so don't worry about that."

Yao Xuewei said with a smile.

The events that had occurred outside the town had given Zhou Qing a good first impression.

Now that I see he's so young yet quite mature, I'm starting to like him a bit.

Zhou Qing broke through the flesh barrier in less than eight months of cultivation. Given his impoverished background as a silkworm farmer, the fact that he was valued by the Poison Demon suggests that his aptitude, comprehension, and temperament must be exceptional.

"This is your waist token. The title of the Demon Suppression Division is still very useful in various counties and towns. You can transfer constables and military officers of the same rank in any government office."

After saying that, Yao Xuewei took out an iron token from her plain-looking chest and handed it to Zhou Qing.

"Thank you, Lord Yao." Zhou Qing clasped his hands in a salute and accepted the token. The token, which felt warm to the touch, was engraved with the words "Inspector" on the front and the character "Qing" on the back.

“There’s no branch of our Demon Suppression Division in town, so your uniform won’t arrive until tomorrow. Go ahead and come back at this time tomorrow.” Yao Xuewei nodded.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Zhou Qing said respectfully, and before leaving, he clasped his hands in a salute to Xiao Kang, who was sitting at the table.

"The Poison Demon's disciple is quite polite," Xiao Kang said calmly.

"What are you saying, sir? Who would dare to be so presumptuous in front of you?" Yao Xuewei said with a smile.

Zhou Qing's arrival squeezed out the annoying Chu Liang, and she was in a good mood.

Although the Demon Suppression Division only values ​​ability, no one wants their subordinate to be a villain.

Zhou Qing, in particular, was renowned in Heishan Town for his noble character and was widely praised.

"You seem to be in a good mood." Xiao Kang raised an eyebrow. "I'll leave Zhou Qing to you. Don't assign him any dangerous missions. Just let him get through these few months. Anyway, he'll leave again when Wei Sheng comes back."

"Yes," Yao Xuewei said respectfully, "What if he chooses a dangerous mission himself?"

"Fortune favors the bold. He made his own choice, so he is responsible for it. It has nothing to do with me," Xiao Kang said calmly.

“Yes, then I will arrange for Chen Zhuo to mentor him,” Yao Xuewei said thoughtfully.

“Chen Zhuo, I vaguely remember him, he’s the one.” Xiao Kang nodded. The next day.

When Zhou Qing arrived at the top-class room on the third floor of Baiweilou again, Xiao Kang and Yao Xuewei were already gone.

Standing in the room was a thin, handsome young man. Compared to Zhou Qing, who had a bronze complexion, he looked like a pretty boy.

He was also dressed in a black uniform with a bird pattern printed on the chest, but compared to Yao Xuewei's gold embroidery, his pattern looked like copper wire. The token hanging at his waist also appeared to be made of bronze.

Gold, silver, copper, and iron are easy to distinguish.

"You're Zhou Qing? My name is Chen Zhuo. You'll be working with me on missions for a while now, so let me make things clear upfront!"
Although the mission we're undertaking to train you as a newcomer isn't particularly risky, it doesn't mean it's absolutely safe.

At all times, you must obey my orders and never act on your own. Do you understand?

Chen Zhuo's expression was solemn.

He was only a few years older than Zhou Qing, but his handsome face lacked masculinity, and his tense expression gave the impression of him trying too hard to appear mature.

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys." Zhou Qing said solemnly. He cared more about practical things; whether the words sounded nice or not was secondary.

"Uh..." Chen Zhuo was taken aback when he saw Zhou Qing adopting such a humble posture, but his expression softened considerably.

"Although I am the inspector and you are the inspector, we are both martial artists in the Body Refinement Realm, so there is no need to be reserved."

“Okay.” Zhou Qing nodded.

"This is your uniform. From now on, except for secret missions, you'll have to wear it when you're on duty. It'll save you a lot of trouble." Chen Zhuo picked up the package on the table and handed it to Zhou Qing.

"Understood." Zhou Qing took the package and looked at Chen Zhuo.

"Changing clothes! Why are you looking at me?" Chen Zhuo was taken aback.

"Oh"

Chen Zhuo suddenly realized what was happening and walked out of the room.

Zhou Qing opened the package, inside which was a black police uniform and a standard-issue waist knife.

He took off his cloth clothes and put on his official uniform.

Because he often goes up the mountain, he usually wears linen clothes made of relatively poor material.

It's rare to see someone wearing something made of such fine material.

Looking at the tall and handsome young man in the bronze mirror, Zhou Qing straightened his collar and cuffs.

I don't know when it happened, but that skinny, dark-skinned boy has now become tall and strong.

After changing her clothes, Zhou Qing left the room.

Chen Zhuo nodded, feeling that Zhou Qing looked much more pleasing to the eye.

"Since we'll be working together on missions from now on, let's get to know each other. I practice my family's Whirlwind Blade Technique and Divine Wind Leg Technique. Their advantages are speed and explosiveness, but their disadvantage is that they're not good at prolonged battles."

"I come from the Baiyun Martial Arts School and practice the Baiyun Palm Technique. My master recently taught me the Qingmu Scripture Internal Energy Technique. My advantage is that I have strong endurance. My disadvantage is that I am not good at fighting," Zhou Qing said with a shy smile.

“Yes, if we really get into a fight, I’ll be at the front, and you can provide support from the side.” Chen Zhuo nodded.

"Nothing to do today. I'll let you know if there's a mission in a few days."

After saying that, Chen Zhuo prepared to leave.

"Lord Chen," Zhou Qing suddenly called out to him.

"What's up?" Chen Zhuo raised an eyebrow.

"Haven't had lunch yet? How about we grab a couple of drinks? My treat," Zhou Qing said with a smile.

"This..." Chen Zhuo was taken aback.

"Come on! Come on!" Zhou Qing urged enthusiastically.

"Just a little bit." Unable to refuse Zhou Qing's hospitality, Chen Zhuo was pulled upstairs to the second floor.
