My profession is too unique.

Chapter 98 [The Path of the Immaculate]

Just before reaching their destination, Bu Siqi asked, "Junior brother, is there anything else I can help you with?"

“Hmm…” Su Chen pondered for a moment, “I’m almost out of the potions I use for training. I have about 20,000 gold coins left. Could you please help me buy some more, senior brother?”

Bu Siqi's expression didn't change when he heard the first part of the sentence, but he smiled and asked when Su Chen mentioned paying, "What kind of medicine do you use?"

“Currently, it’s a Tier 2 Mist Fiend Potion and a Tier 2 Illusion Essence.” Su Chen said, then took out a black dagger, also a trophy from Pan Yu, which was not suitable for sale in Nanfeng: “This one is also worth mentioning.”

"Hmm... this weapon is probably worth sixty or seventy thousand, enough to exchange for seven or eight tubes each..." Bu Siqi took it and weighed it in his hand, then pondered, "It probably won't be enough for you. I'll try my best to get you some more. If it's not enough, don't blame your senior brother."

Although they are fellow disciples, if Su Chen wants to get something for free, he will naturally refuse. But since Su Chen seems to be "bankrupt," he will help him if he can.

"Not at all," Su Chen said repeatedly. "Senior Brother, could you please find me another E-level meditation method?"

“That’s easy.” Bu Siqi nodded, then asked, “Anything else?”

Su Chen looked at him carefully for a few moments, guessing that he was serious, and then added, "Could you keep an eye out for news about the Nightmare Pearl?"

"Mist Nightmare Bead?" Bu Siqi was surprised, then nodded and said, "Potion, meditation method, Mist Nightmare Bead, okay, I understand."

After watching Bu Siqi leave, Su Chen returned to the hotel and took the elevator. "Once we enter the courtroom, we should be able to get resources allocated to us."

"Ordinary members and inner court seeds, the higher their status, the more resources they will likely be allocated, and the different treatment they will receive. They will also have a better chance of finding clues about the 'Crimson Flame Thunder Venerable'."

“Black Jade…” Su Chen couldn’t help but think, “I still need to focus on the [Saint]. If I can successfully take up the position, my spiritual talent should break through the Crimson Gold level and reach the Black Jade level.”

"An impossible request? Old Sang makes it sound so incredible, just how difficult is it?"

After a quick workout overnight, Su Chen went to the translation office again early the next morning.

"You're here?" Sang Hanhai wasn't surprised to see Su Chen; he seemed to have guessed that he would come.

He was immediately called to the workbench, where numerous symbols were flashing on the instrument screen next to him.

"...Based on the information you provided, I've deciphered some more information." Sang Hanhai pointed to the text on the screen that Su Chen couldn't understand and said, "I speculate that one of the complete job requirements should be a top-tier second-order mental profession."

"Top-tier?" Su Chen feigned surprise, secretly thinking to himself, "This old man Sang really has some skills. He came up with this overnight after getting the keyword."

“That’s right…” Sang Hanhai nodded, his eyes revealing excitement. “Furthermore, I have a rough idea of ​​what this profession is. It’s most likely that it involves creating dimensional spaces and using mental imprints as keys to access items at will.”

"A personal space!?" Su Chen was even more astonished. "There's actually such a profession?"

“There are all sorts of professions out there, you’ll be surprised in the future.” Sang Hanhai said with a hint of pride, but added, “However, the progress is so fast, thanks in large part to the auxiliary information you provided.”

"Currently, two job requirements have been identified: spatial crystallization and top-tier second-order mental professions."

At this point, Sang Hanhai frowned again, "In the past, we could have recruited volunteers from various organizations and tried to force them into employment."

"After successfully securing a job, it becomes easier to deduce other job requirements."

“However…” he said with some helplessness, “This profession not only requires spatial crystals, but also a top-tier second-tier profession. Those who meet this condition are all treasures. Forcing someone to take the job is risky, so it’s impossible for them to give it to me.”

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Su Chen.

“I can’t…” Su Chen shook his head repeatedly, “I’m only a second-tier upper level, I can’t reach that level.”

“It’s not impossible to try for a higher position,” Sang Hanhai tempted. “Even if you only manage to get the job, it will give you unparalleled convenience, like a package you can carry with you. No one else can see it, only you can access it.”

"It's exciting just thinking about it."

"You'd better find someone else," Su Chen said, indicating he wasn't interested.

If they were to agree, they would definitely conduct the experiment in full view of everyone, and there would likely be various observation instruments involved.

“Tsk…” Sang Hanhai sighed, “Then we can only decipher it little by little.”

Then, he smiled and said, "I'm actually quite impatient. After all, this kind of profession is so versatile."

"I'll give it a try; maybe I'll find something to resonate with today," Su Chen said.

“Haha…” Sang Hanhai chuckled, “You’ve already resonated twice in a row. The chance of resonating three times is too low.”

"If I succeed, could you please give me the [Saint] title?" Su Chen asked, seizing the opportunity.

"A saint? You still have your eye on him..." Sang Hanhai glanced at him, "You haven't given up on your wicked intentions."

Su Chen smiled shyly, while Sang Hanhai shook his head and said, "Saints belong to a sealed profession. Under normal circumstances, they can no longer be shown to the outside world. I can indeed access it. Are you sure you want it?"

"I hope you will grant my request," Su Chen said immediately.

“…Xia Hanshi, Xia Hanshi…” Sang Hanhai shook his head, glanced at Su Chen, “Since that’s the case, let’s see if God will let you have it or not.”

"If you can still feel resonance today, I will summon a saint for you to see."

Sang Hanhai left the choice to fate.

Su Chen took a deep breath, his expression gradually calming down, as if he was adjusting his state.

Sang Hanhai shook his head inwardly. The resonance with the Sacred Word Stone had no discernible pattern and was unrelated to his own state.

He watched as Su Chen slowly walked to the Holy Word Stone and stared intently at it.

A moment later, the boy's eyes suddenly widened, and he staggered back a few steps, panting heavily.

"Resonance can have this kind of reaction?" Sang Hanhai muttered to himself.

“Old Sang…” Su Chen looked at Sang Hanhai, his chest heaving, and forced a smile, “It seems that God is on my side.”

"A real resonance?" Sang Hanhai asked in astonishment.

"Hmm..." Su Chen seemed to be contemplating, and hesitated, "It seems...it seems...we need to pass through some kind of rift..."

"A rift?" Sang Hanhai instantly switched into work mode, his expression gradually becoming excited. This time, he didn't even bother with verification, pacing back and forth.
"A spatial rift? Yes... I need to absorb spatial properties, pass through the rift, create a dimensional space using spatial crystals as the core, and then use mental power as the key to open it..."

“Record…record…” he said in a deep voice: “Number--2437, Space-type Auxiliary Profession, Rating--A, Name--Space…”

Sang Hanhai uttered two words and fell into deep thought.

"The organizer?" Su Chen whispered.

“Okay…” Sang Hanhai’s eyes brightened slightly, “The name will be Space Organizer, and the job requirements are… the second is… the third is…”

"Preparing to initiate the verification process..."

Establishing a profession involves many processes, and if an error occurs at any point in the information, it can lead to numerous casualties.

The staff quickly got to work, while Sang Hanhai looked at Su Chen with a look of emotion in his eyes, "This is the first time I've deciphered something so quickly. No wonder my teacher often talks about the Tian Shou Translator; he's been a great help."

"Unfortunately, it's a rare opportunity, and the divinely appointed translator is only available for individual Holy Word Stones..."

Su Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but ask, "Are there any Heavenly Translators who can resonate with multiple Sacred Word Stones simultaneously?"

"Hmm?" Sang Hanhai's expression was strange. "Someone like you is hard to come by even once in many years, let alone someone who can resonate with multiple Sacred Word Stones at the same time."

"However..." he said, then changed the subject, "I can't say for sure whether it exists or not."

“Actually…” Sang Hanhai hesitated for a moment, looking at Su Chen who showed a look of longing, and said, “The Tian Shou Translators have had disagreements in the internal discussions of the Translation Department over the years.”

“In several other cities, some believe that what resonates with the divinely appointed translator is not the profession itself, but the sacred stone itself.”

"Just as the Trickster Cult can communicate with the Trickster behind them through the Holy Word Stone, the Heavenly Translator may also have this quality to some extent, which is why they resonate with it."

"Unfortunately, there are too few cases. A large-scale screening was conducted a few years ago, which caused some trouble and was shelved."

Su Chen seemed thoughtful. This gave him an opportunity. But for now, he wasn't going to reveal anything more. He currently only had Xia Hanshi's private identity as a student, and hadn't even entered the courtroom, lacking overall endorsement.

"We've gone off on a tangent." Sang Hanhai waved his hand, becoming much more solemn. "I'll ask you one last time, do you really want a Saint?"

"If you don't want it, you can save it to exchange for a fourth-tier or even fifth-tier profession later. Even in the Tribunal, profession information is not obtained for no reason."

"Only a saint." Su Chen did not hesitate.

Sang Hanhai said no more: "Wait here for me for a while, I'll go and make the arrangements."

He wasn't the one responsible for deciphering the saint's code; if he wanted to access it, he would have to go through the proper procedures.

After Sang Hanhai left the laboratory, it became quiet. Apart from the sound of the instruments running and the staff walking back and forth, he was occasionally glanced at.

Su Chen found a seat and waited quietly.

Sang Hanhai returned not long after, his expression even more peculiar.

Leading Su Chen to the rest room on one side of the laboratory, Sang Hanhai, while Su Chen stared blankly, gouged out his left eyeball and soaked it in the cleaning equipment.

"I once saw something I shouldn't have seen, and it made my eyes pop out." Sang Hanhai chuckled as he saw him staring blankly, then added, "High-level professional information is inherently dangerous. Be careful if you come across it in the future."

Su Chen couldn't help but think of "Crimson Flame Thunder Venerable," which was so blatantly engraved on those nine rings. The Translation Department should know about it, right?

“The ‘sealed professions’ category in the Translation Office all have various requirements that are so harsh that they are difficult to complete, and even extremely dangerous to others.” Sang Hanhai then got to the point and said with a wry smile, “But I still didn’t expect that the requirements for a Saint would be like this.”

"Listen carefully."

Su Chen waited intently as Sang Hanhai slowly began to narrate.

[A special profession has been discovered – Saint. This profession can be taken after fulfilling the requirements.]

[Job requirement one: Possessing the Crimson Gold talent on the mental side.]

[Job requirement number two: Personally save thousands of people]

[Third requirement for employment: Never kill any living being]

This… Su Chen’s eyes were unfocused; his first Crimson Gold talent was just average.

The second one is quite difficult. "Saving" sounds broad. Does it mean psychological or physiological?
Saving even one person is troublesome, let alone a thousand.

Even if you rely on external forces to boost performance, it still takes a long time and resources.

This third request is even more outrageous; it's basically forbidding him from killing anyone?

"This requirement isn't exactly difficult, but it's not simple either, especially the last one," Sang Hanhai said with a wry smile. "I carefully consulted with Lao Hai, who was in charge of deciphering, and this requirement is the most troublesome."

“Spiritual life forms probably include all mutant species, including humans.”

"He speculated that even if the other two conditions were met, if one were to commit murder, one's profession would collapse, not only losing one's professional abilities but also suffering great trauma."

Sang Hanhai said helplessly, "It's possible that we didn't decipher it completely, but this profession is indeed unacceptable, and it truly lives up to its name as a sacred profession."

Su Chen was not disappointed, because he still had the panel, and sure enough, it reacted immediately after discovering the profession.

The scholar and the wise man were quite excited to discover an old friend they hadn't seen in a long time. They chatted warmly with the saint and reminisced about the time when they were one with him...

As one?
Su Chen quickly grasped a key phrase: "Does it mean they used to be a profession, or perhaps not a prerequisite for a particular profession, but rather a fusion?"

He thought of many things, and even speculated whether it was one of the conditions for taking up the post of "Crimson Flame Thunder Venerable".

No results were reached immediately after the three-way talks.

Seeing Su Chen's changing expression, Sang Hanhai teased, "Kid, you can't regret this. I didn't get this kind of professional information for nothing."

"Even if I can't take the job, it's still my choice," Su Chen said frankly.

Seeing that Su Chen adjusted his mindset so quickly, Sang Hanhai nodded in approval. Su Chen wasted an opportunity to exchange for a profession, yet he could remain so calm, which showed his strong will.

“However…” Su Chen changed the subject, then said shyly, “I’ve been working with you these past two days and I’m quite curious about deciphering the Sacred Word Stone. Could I come back and learn from you again in the future?”

"Study?" Sang Hanhai asked in surprise. "You are a double-red gold master; your place to shine is in the courtroom."

If it were someone else, there would be a chance to climb the social ladder, but the probability for Su Chen is not high. He has Xia Hanshi as his backer, and he himself is a double-red gold, so there is not much need for him to make trouble in the translation department.

Want to break away from Xia Hanshi? He subconsciously guessed, but then dismissed it. He and Su Chen had only known each other for three days. If the other party wasn't stupid, he wouldn't expect him to oppose Xia Hanshi.

“Nanfeng is a small place, and I’ve never been involved in this before. Now I find it quite interesting.” Su Chen scratched the back of his head.

“Alright…” Sang Hanhai pondered for a moment, “Then I’ll keep your temporary pass for now. You can come and talk to me when you have time.”

He agreed. Regardless of anything else, Su Chen acted appropriately and knew how to conduct himself properly. He also went all out to help this time, which gave him a good impression.

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Elder Sang," Su Chen said with a smile.

Sang Hanhai took his eyeballs out of the cleaning device, put them back in their sockets, and prepared to leave the lounge.

Su Chen followed behind and took the opportunity to ask, "I just heard you say you wanted to verify if there are any spatial rifts in our Translation Department?"

Su Chen remembered that Su Chen still had one last requirement for his job as a space organizer to fulfill.

"Us?" Sang Hanhai chuckled. "Our translation department doesn't have any spatial rifts. Creating a spatial rift is no easy task. Ying Feng only has a handful of people with this ability."

Su Chen frowned slightly, then asked, "I heard from my teacher that there aren't many professions that can improve one's talent later in life. Scholars, sages, and saints are all examples of this."

"Why do I feel like their naming conventions are so similar? Are they related?"

“…You seem quite curious.” Sang Hanhai chuckled. “We speculate that they are connected, but we can’t say for sure where.”

“I remember there was a similar profession in Yuandu called the Spirit Master.”

"A Spirit Master?" Su Chen was taken aback as the panel in front of him gradually appeared.

[...The scholars, sages, and saints who were having a friendly conversation heard a familiar name, which stirred up memories, as if they remembered something...]

[The Path of the Unsullied: Acquire all the necessary professions to ascend to Unsullied.]

The Immaculate? The Ascended?

Is this the superior profession of scholars?

A multi-functional, super-enhanced version? Probably just adding talents, right?
He thought of the "Mysterious Purple" talent level required for the "Crimson Flame Thunder Venerable".

“A Spirit Master…” His thoughts wandered, wondering whether the Immaculate One was still missing one Spirit Master, or even more.

Looking up, Su Chen realized that Sang Hanhai had already reached the laboratory gate. Just as Su Chen was about to catch up, he stopped in his tracks.

The metal doors opened to both sides, and someone came in.

"Old Yuan..." Sang Hanhai greeted him familiarly, "It's been a while since you've been here."

"Haha..." The other person had white hair and beard and looked quite old, but he was still very robust and had a dignified square face.

"Professor Sang, I wouldn't dare disturb you if there's nothing wrong," he joked, striding into the laboratory with an air of authority.

His gaze immediately locked onto Su Chen, the only one not wearing a lab coat, and his expression changed slightly.

“Su Chen?” he asked.

So... you recognize me again.
