Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

Gu Chen opened the box containing the reward.

Inside were two small porcelain bottles and a small wooden box specifically for storing medicinal herbs.

First, open the wooden box, inside which is placed a spiritual herb with leaves as thin and sharp as needle tips.

Gu Chen did not recognize him.

He opened the two small porcelain bottles. One bottle contained a large Qi Condensation Pill, and the other contained a golden pill the size of a bull's eye. Gu Chen did not recognize it.

Gu Chen looked at Gongsun Yuan and said, "Senior Brother, I recognize the Great Qi Condensation Pill, but what about the other pill and this spiritual herb?"

Gongsun Yuan glanced at it and smiled, "This spiritual herb is the Thorn Acupuncture Herb, a precious medicine that helps experts at the peak of the seventh-grade True Yuan Realm break through their realm barriers. The pill is the Breakthrough Pill, a Divine Aperture Pill, specifically for breaking through to the sixth grade."

"Junior brother, you are blessed. With this Divine Aperture Pill and Piercing Aperture Grass, after you reach the Perfection of the True Essence Realm, breaking through to the sixth-grade Aperture Breaking Realm will be easy. Moreover, with the Piercing Aperture Grass, you can immediately stabilize your cultivation after breaking through the realm. Your master specially chose this for you."

"Our rewards are not as good as yours. This Divine Aperture Pill is worth as much as 100,000 taels of silver in the outside world, and it is priceless. The value of the Piercing Cave Grass is also worth at least 30,000 taels of silver. In addition, this Great Condensation Pill is worth more than 10,000 taels of silver. The three items are worth at least 150,000 taels of silver. Master specially prepared this three-piece set for you to break through the realm," Gongsun Yuan said with a smile.

In his view, Gu Chen's current realm is at the late stage of the True Essence Realm.

He had previously received a Rank 7 Minor Breakthrough Pill from his master, and now he has received a Rank 7 Major Condensation Pill.

Breaking through to the Perfect True Essence Realm is just around the corner.

After reaching the perfection of the True Essence Realm.

With the help of the Divine Aperture Pill and the Piercing Aperture Grass, one can then break through to the Breaking Aperture Realm.

Having reached the Breaking Aperture Realm, Gu Chen possessed an abnormal ability to challenge opponents of higher levels.

I estimate that he could directly possess the strength of the early stage of the Sea Transformation Realm.

"It's actually the Pit-Piercing Grass and the Divine Aperture Pill!" Gu Chen exclaimed in surprise.

The reward for this achievement is surprisingly generous.

It should be understood that the Night Watch's merits are primarily based on accumulating achievements, with rewards being secondary.

He was definitely awarded a great merit this time, and the remaining rewards were worth more than 150,000 taels of silver.

This was truly beyond his expectations.

of course.

This may be inextricably linked to the fact that he had a good master.

Gu Chen estimated that without his master's intervention, he might not have received so many rewards.

"Well, Master said that the reward for this mission was arranged by the deputy head of the Night Watch, who gave him the authority to do so. We got a bit of a bargain," Gongsun Yuan explained. "Master told you to rest well and tell him that after you break through to the True Essence Realm, don't rush to break through to the Aperture Breaking Realm. He has a fortuitous opportunity for you."

Gu Chen was startled. His master had told him that after he broke through to the True Essence Realm, he should not try to break through to the Aperture Breaking Realm, because there was an opportunity for him.

I don't know what the circumstances were.

His true realm had long since broken through to the perfect state of the Transformation Sea Realm.

If it's a secret realm or ruin that restricts cultivation level, and those above the Breaking Aperture Realm cannot enter, then his master will give him this opportunity.

Not only will he be unable to enjoy it, but he may also reveal his true level of cultivation.

"I wonder what kind of opportunity this was? Does Senior Brother know anything about it?" Gu Chen asked.

Gongsun Yuan shook his head; he didn't know that.

The master didn't explain it to him in detail.

"Alright." Gu Chen nodded. "Then I will tell Master as soon as I break through to the Perfect True Essence Realm."

Hopefully, it won't be an opportunity for him to enter secret realms or ruins with limited cultivation levels.

"Hmm." Gongsun Yuan nodded, then said, "During this time, after you have received your rewards, official seal and robes, make some preparations and then head to Li Huo Prefecture to take up your post."

"After you go to your post and get familiar with things, come to the capital of Huangzhou in a few days." Gongsun Yuan explained, "After Chen Lei was dismissed and transferred back to Zhongzhou, the higher-ups sent a new commander of the Huangzhou Night Watch. My master revealed that the new commander of the Huangzhou Night Watch is from our faction, named Li Xianghe."

"I will prepare a welcome dinner for him to celebrate his arrival. You should attend and get acquainted with him beforehand so that he can be looked after if needed in the future," Gongsun Yuan said to Gu Chen.

"The new Chief of the Wilderness Watch is coming, I understand." Gu Chen nodded: "After I take office in Li Huo Prefecture and stabilize the situation there, I will go there immediately."

Chen Lei was dismissed after him.

The higher-ups have dispatched a new commander-in-chief of the Night Watch, but the procedures will take a few days longer for him.

Presumably, it would be just right for him to attend the welcoming banquet for the new commander-in-chief after he takes office in Li Huo Prefecture and stabilizes the situation there.

The newly appointed commander of the Wilderness Watch is one of their men, which will make things much easier from now on.

They won't be harassed anymore, and they can focus on developing their careers in peace.

"Hmm." Gongsun Yuan nodded: "This newly appointed Chief Commander, Lord Li, is a First-Rank Venerable Realm cultivator. He is the disciple of Qin Ming, the Deputy Chief Commander who is currently the leader of our faction in the Night Watch Division and is at the Half-Step Land Immortal Realm. It will only benefit us to get closer to him."

"When you attend his welcome banquet, you can prepare a small gift. It doesn't need to be expensive; just a token will suffice," Gongsun Yuan advised.

In official circles, sometimes even those who are on the same side are involved.

This kind of exchange is also necessary.

The gift doesn't have to be expensive, but you have to give it and show your appreciation.

The newly appointed official.

He might not know exactly who sent what, but he knows who didn't.

He probably knows everything.

"Okay, I'll get ready." Gu Chen nodded to indicate that he understood.

Gu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Senior brother, after I go to Li Huo Prefecture to take up my post, the position of the Night Watch Chief of Jiuwan City will be vacant. I would like to let Liang Xiaoyun, the current Deputy Chief of the Night Watch, take over the position of the new Chief of the Night Watch."

Gu Chen presented his arrangements to Gongsun Yuan.

Liang Xiaoyun and Lin Fei, two members of the Night Watch of Jiuwan City.

He outlived the previous head of the Night Watch of Jiuwan City.

Now he's been outlived again.

He and his predecessor, the head of the Nine Bays City Night Watch, were both the kind of people who would simply leave the job to others.

The two of them were given all the work to do.

These two have always worked hard without complaint.

He only knew how to go about his daily routine, refining pills and making his usual rounds in the evening, and that was about it.

Previously, Chen Lei had ordered him to take full responsibility for the case of He Teng being attacked by an unknown powerful figure.

Both of them have been working so hard, it's time for them to be promoted.

Liang Xiaoyun's cultivation level is one realm higher than Lin Fei's, having already reached the perfection of the fifth realm of the Innate Realm.

So he appointed her as the head of the Night Watch of Jiuwan City. As for Lin Feiyao, we'll see.

If I were to take up my post in Li Huo Prefecture, there would be vacancies for the position of Night Watch Chief in one of the cities under my jurisdiction.

Then transfer him there.

This can be considered as cultivating one's own wings in advance.

"Okay, you can make the arrangements. Just report back to me once you've decided on the new candidate," Gongsun Yuan agreed.

These are all minor matters.

As his junior brother's official rank continues to rise, it's time for him to cultivate his own group of followers.

"Alright." Gu Chen nodded. "Once it's confirmed, I'll have someone inform my senior brother."

"Alright, I still have things to attend to at the headquarters in Huangzhou, so I'll head back now." Gongsun Yuan bid farewell and left.

Gu Chen saw him off and then returned.

He summoned Wei Zhong and instructed him, "Go and inform Miss Cheng that my inauguration procedures are complete and I can go to Li Huo Prefecture to take up my post. I'll go there first, and you can move over with me."

"Yes, Elder Gu." Wei Zhong accepted the order.

Gu Chen got up and left immediately.

Head to the Night Watch of Nine Bays City.

He was about to take up a new post, so he came here first to say goodbye to his former subordinates.

I also took the opportunity to inform him of his new arrangements.

Arrived outside the Night Watch of Jiuwan City.

Upon seeing him, the two guards immediately greeted him respectfully, "Sir."

Although Gu Chen was dismissed from his post some time ago, they knew that he had won the struggle and would be going to take up a higher-level post.

They deserve even more respect.

"Okay." Gu Chen nodded and said to the two of them, "Go and inform everyone to gather together."

"Yes." The two men accepted the order.

Soon, in the Night Watch of Nine Bays City.

All members were then summoned.

Gu Chen looked at everyone.

Their gazes fell upon Lin Fei and Liang Xiaoyun at the very front.

He began, "Having cracked the smuggling case of the Yamamoto family of the island nation, I have now been promoted and am about to be transferred to the Night Watch Division in Lihuo Prefecture as its head."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood.

Gu Chen has come today to say goodbye to them.

"Congratulations, sir, your career is on the rise."

"Congratulations, sir, on your promotion."

All the Night Watch personnel of Nine Bays City offered their congratulations.

Gu Chen nodded and continued, "I was removed from my post before, and the position of Director of the Night Watch of Jiuwan City was vacant. I have already made arrangements for Liang Xiaoyun, the former Deputy Director of Jiuwan City, to take over my previous position."

This statement came out.

The members of the Night Watch immediately looked at Liang Xiaoyun in front of them with envy.

After Lord Gu left, she was arranged to take over.

Liang Xiaoyun has finally made it through the tough times.

She possesses sufficient cultivation and seniority, and enjoys prestige among the various forces and members of the Night Watch in Nine Bays City.

It is easy for people to accept.

"Thank you very much, sir." Liang Xiaoyun bowed to Gu Chen in gratitude.

If a former chief of the Night Watch is transferred away, he is not qualified to appoint someone else to take his place.

But Gu Chen is no ordinary Night Watchman; his connections are too strong.

Now he's been sent to serve as the head of the Night Watch in a prefecture; all he needs to do is inform his senior brother.

This is the advantage of having a strong background.

Seeing this, Lin Fei was filled with envy.

He could understand why Gu Chen chose Liang Xiaoyun instead of him.

His realm of understanding is one realm lower than Liang Xiaoyun's.

The head of the city's night watch is just a figurehead.

The two men have similar qualifications and achievements, and with the more capable Liang Xiaoyun ahead of him, Gu Chen naturally wouldn't choose him.

There's nothing we can do about it.
