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

"That's not all." Tie Yangtian continued, "My seventh junior brother was sent by me to Luo'an County, a border county under my Zhenshi County. In just one month, he completed the two difficult tasks I assigned to him."

"Luo'an County is one of the counties in my town of Shijun that borders the Ten Thousand Mountains. Three months ago, the head of the Night Watch in the county and two deputy heads died suddenly. In an instant, demons broke out throughout the county. I sent my seventh junior brother to serve as the new head of the Night Watch in Luo'an County."

"At the time, he was given two tasks: one was to find out the cause of death of the three people, and the other was to solve the problem of demons in the entire Luo'an County."

"When Seventh Junior Brother went to Luo'an County, he resolved the demon scourge there in less than a month and also found out the true cause of death of the former Luo'an County Night Watch Chief and two deputy chiefs."

"This involves a deeply hidden gray industry chain. The mastermind behind it is Tang Hong, the son of the governor of Zhenshi County. He has people using the life essence of the people of Luo'an County to irrigate rare spiritual medicines for profit."

"The former chief of the Night Watch of Luo'an County and his two deputy chiefs were killed by Gong Yi, the deputy chief of the Night Watch of Linbian City under his command, in collusion with demons. Their aim was to create the illusion that Luo'an County was being ravaged by demons, so that the Black Wolves in the county could capture people to offer as tribute to the demons, thereby secretly taking more people to extract their life essence for profit," Tie Yangtian explained.

"Seventh Junior Brother secretly uncovered all these conspiracies and wiped out all the demons within Luo'an County. Gong Yi, the deputy director of the Linbian City Night Watch, was also killed by Junior Brother."

After listening to Tie Yangtian's story.

Shangguan Wuqing and Luo Tianxing were once again amazed by Gu Chen's competence.

I never expected Gu Chen to have such talent in this area.

"Junior Brother's abilities are truly admirable," Luo Tianxing said.

"Fourth Senior Brother is too kind," Gu Chen immediately replied modestly.

Then Gu Chen looked at Shangguan Wuqing: "But Master, by killing Gong Yi and wiping out all the demons in Luo'an County, I have cut off the source of wealth for Tang Hong, the son of the governor of Zhenshi County. I wonder if he will secretly retaliate against me for this."

Gu Chen did not forget the purpose for which Tie Yangtian brought him here.

Firstly, he wanted to become an apprentice, and secondly, he hoped to resolve his current predicament through his master, Shangguan Wuqing.

To prevent Tang Hong from secretly retaliating against him.

Tie Yangtian had steered the conversation here, so naturally, he needed to bring up this potential problem.

"Hmph." Shangguan Wuqing sneered: "The son of the governor of Zhenshi County, you mean Tang Meng's son, right?"

"Don't worry, now that you've become my personal disciple, from now on, Tang Hong will not only dare not harm you, but will also find opportunities to curry favor with you," Shangguan Wuqing said. "I will have someone warn Tang Meng, and he will know what to do next."

"Thank you, Master." Gu Chen cupped his hands and continued, "There is one more thing. When I was killing the strongest demon in Luo'an County, the demon said that he was the grandson of Tiger Seven. I killed him, and Tiger Seven will definitely not let me go. Even the higher-ups of the Night Watch Division cannot protect themselves. I wonder what kind of demon Tiger Seven is, and how he compares to Master."

Upon hearing this...

Shangguan Wuqing had not yet spoken.

Tie Yangtian then said, "Master may not know about Tiger Seven, but I do. It is one of the five-rank great demons in the border area of ​​Zhenshi County that borders the Ten Thousand Mountains. Master is a master above the first rank and half a step into the super rank. It is not comparable to Master."

"Let alone Master, even I couldn't fight it to a standstill in the past. If your fourth senior brother were to step in, he could easily kill it," Tie Yangtian explained.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen felt relieved.

But if that's the case, he can rest easy.

"Hmm." Shangguan Wuqing nodded and looked at Tie Yangtian: "Sixth brother, according to what you just said, Xiao Qi has made continuous contributions as the head of the county's night watchman's office. His strength has now reached the peak of the fifth level of the Innate Realm. We can consider letting him serve as the head of the city's night watchman's office. Go and make the arrangements."

"Now that you've broken through to the fifth rank, you no longer need to serve as the head of the Zhenshi County Night Watch. You'll be directly promoted to the sixth rank, becoming the deputy director. I'll have someone handle the paperwork, and it won't be long before it's all done."

"Thank you, Master." Tie Yangtian nodded and continued, "My promotion is no problem. There is a vacancy for the deputy director of the Zhenshi County Night Watch. However, Seventh Junior Brother, it seems that there is no vacancy for the director of the Night Watch in any of the cities under my Zhenshi County. Therefore, I cannot arrange a position for the director of the Night Watch for you in a short period of time."

"There's no place available?" Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wuqing said, "Then we'll wait. Once a place becomes available, we'll arrange for Xiao Qi to take up the post. First, we'll promote Xiao Qi to the seventh rank."

"Yes." Tie Yangtian nodded.

Upon hearing this, Luo Tianxing's eyes lit up, and he said, "Is there no vacant position for the chief of the night watch in Zhenshi County, Junior Brother Tie's city? There is one in Yuehai County."

Luo Tianxing hurriedly looked at Shangguan Wuqing: "Master, you can let Junior Brother take up his post in my Yuehai County. There is a coastal city in Yuehai County with a vacant position as the head of the Night Watch. As the head of the Night Watch in Yuehai County, a fifth-rank official, I am sure I can take better care of Junior Brother than my sixth junior brother in Zhenshi County."

Before Gu Chen could speak, Tie Yangtian objected: "Fourth Senior Brother, you're putting yourself on a pedestal. Junior Brother is doing just fine in my Zhenshi County, why should he go to your Yuehai County to take up his post?"

"You don't have any vacancies over there, do you?" Luo Tianxing said with a smile. "I'm doing this for my junior brother's future. You can't keep letting a talented person like him wait there without being able to take up a position."

"I'm sure I'll have a spot available soon," Tie Yangtian said reluctantly.

He finally discovered Gu Chen, a talented individual with exceptional investigative and practical abilities.

How could they let Luo Tianxing poach him so easily?

"Master, Junior Brother's ability to investigate and solve cases is outstanding. I happen to have a case that I need Junior Brother's help with. I can guarantee that if you solve that case, Junior Brother will accumulate a great merit. With the reward he receives, he will be able to break through to the True Essence Realm in one fell swoop," Luo Tianxing said.

"A True Essence Realm expert at level twenty, just thinking about it is terrifying."

Luo Tianxing looked at Tie Yangtian: "It's better than Junior Brother staying here with Sixth Junior Brother and wasting time."

Upon hearing this, Tie Yangtian fell silent.

Although he didn't want Gu Chen to be poached by his fourth senior brother.

However, if there is a better opportunity to make merit in Yuehai County, Gu Chen can immediately take up the post of the head of the city's night watchman's office to enhance his resume.

It was definitely better than him staying in Zhenshi County as the head of the county's night watchman's office.

They were the direct disciples under their master's command.

Their talent is not an issue.

Their future achievements will be substantial.

As long as one accumulates enough merits and experience, and reaches a certain level of competence, one's official position can be promoted.

Gu Chen is a prodigy; it won't be long before he breaks through to the True Essence Realm.

As long as he can break through to the sixth-grade Breaking Aperture Realm, he can be dispatched to a prefecture's Night Watch Division as its director.

Shangguan Wuqing looked at Gu Chen: "In Zhenshi County, where your sixth senior brother is located, there is currently no vacancy for the position of the head of the Night Watch. In Yuehai County, where your fourth senior brother is located, there is. Would you be willing to leave Zhenshi County and go to Yuehai County to take up your post?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Tianxing looked at Gu Chen expectantly: "Junior Brother, you've come to Fourth Senior Brother's Yuehai County. Senior Brother will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Although Tie Yangtian felt helpless, he did not say anything to stop it.

Let Gu Chen make the decision himself.

After pondering for a while, Gu Chen's cultivation level improved rapidly.

If you want to get promoted and accumulate merit, you should do it as early as possible.

There's no point in staying in Luo'an County any longer; there's nothing more to be accomplished there.

He wiped out all the demons within the territory of Luo'an County.

Going to my fourth senior brother's Yuehai County might be a good choice.

He had the ability to exchange information for his copper bowl.

He can solve any major case over there, and his official position will rise steadily.

The rewards he receives for his meritorious service also allow him to quickly acquire a large amount of resources for cultivation and breakthroughs.

Now that he has broken through to the True Essence Realm, even advancing to a minor realm requires at least 25,000 silver coins.

Continuing in Luo'an County, without eliminating any demons, he earned over ten thousand taels of silver a month simply by refining pills for the Cheng family.

It takes more than two months to advance to the next level.

Moreover, after breaking through to the True Essence Realm, he can begin preparing to cultivate the second chapter of the Profound Iron Red Copper Vajra Body, the Red Copper Body.

The copper body was then crafted.

He possesses terrifying defensive capabilities across the four realms of the traveler.

This body-refining technique should not be neglected.

Cultivating the Copper Body requires more silver than cultivating the Iron Body.

He needs to move to a bigger platform.

Only then can the power of the copper bowl be converted into silver.

"This disciple is willing," Gu Chen nodded.

Then he said to Luo Tianxing, "From now on, I will rely on my fourth senior brother for help."

"Of course, of course." Seeing that Gu Chen agreed, Luo Tianxing smiled broadly.

Only Tie Yangtian was somewhat depressed.

Unexpectedly, the genius junior brother he had just introduced was snatched away by his fourth senior brother.

How could he not be depressed?

Seeing this, Gu Chen hurriedly said, "I will never forget the kindness of Sixth Senior Brother in recommending me."

Hearing Gu Chen say this, Tie Yangtian felt a little better.

"Then it's settled. You, Fourth Brother, will arrange Xiao Qi's place of appointment," Shangguan Wuqing said.

"Yes, Master." Luo Tianxing nodded and continued, "It may take about a month to complete all the formalities. Junior Brother can go back to Luo'an County to settle things and make arrangements for his departure there. He can come to Yuehai County to take up his post a month later."

"Thank you, Master and Fourth Senior Brother." Gu Chen expressed his gratitude.

Shangguan Wuqing said, "Every disciple who becomes my disciple will receive a gift from me."

"I'll give you martial arts techniques and skills, which you can acquire whenever you earn merit. Silver is too vulgar, and you can buy pills yourself. After some thought, I've decided to give you this." Shangguan Wuqing took out a jade token and handed it to Gu Chen.

"Since you are going to take up your post in Yuehai County, take this jade token with you. The secret realm of Yutai Island there will open in a year, and this jade token key will give you the opportunity to enter."

"Thank you, Master." Gu Chen accepted the jade token.

Is this the key to the secret realm?

It's unclear what mysteries this Jade Terrace Island holds that could make Shangguan Wuqing abandon other gifts and instead give him this jade key.

"Junior Brother, you are truly blessed. Master has bestowed such an opportunity upon you." At this moment, Luo Tianxing spoke up, "Junior Brother, you may not yet know what this jade talisman represents."

"The Jade Platform Island Secret Realm opens once every fifty years. It contains countless spiritual herbs, inheritance opportunities, and even opportunities for a first-grade expert to break through to the super-grade. The last time the secret realm opened, it was because our eldest brother received a jade talisman from our master that he was able to enter. Our eldest brother is now a second-grade sage among the upper three grades," Luo Tianxing said with longing.

Unfortunately, they didn't become disciples during the period when the Jade Platform Secret Realm was open.

Unable to enter, I can only watch with envy.

After hearing Luo Tianxing's words of envy.

Gu Chen thanked Shangguan Wuqing again.

It seems that this jade key is indeed an extraordinary opportunity.

Shangguan Wuqing waved his hand.

Looking at Gu Chen, he said, "Now that you have reached the perfection of the fifth realm of the Innate Realm, you are about to begin practicing the cultivation techniques of the fourth realm of the Traveler Realm. Which technique of the fourth realm of the Traveler Realm have you chosen? Show it to me. I will guide you for the next two days. The martial arts you are practicing will also be included."

"Master, the cultivation technique I have chosen for the fourth realm of the Traveler is the Four Beasts Celestial Phenomenon Technique." Gu Chen replied, "The martial arts techniques are the Demon-Suppressing Saber Technique and the Flying Serpent Step."

"It's actually the Four Beasts Celestial Phenomenon Technique." Shangguan Wuqing was somewhat surprised. If it were any other technique, he could have given Gu Chen some guidance.

If it were the Four Beasts Celestial Phenomenon Technique, he would be helpless.

After all, apart from the head of their Night Watch Division, no one else has been able to master this technique to this day.

"If it were any other cultivation method, I could guide you. But if it's this one, I can't help you." Shangguan Wuqing shook his head. "With your talent, you could try challenging this cultivation method. If you fail, I can teach you other methods."

Gu Chen has a high level of talent.

He is qualified to try this technique. If he succeeds, his future achievements may reach the realm of a terrestrial immortal.

This is above the Super Grade level, the most top-tier existence in the Divine Dynasty.

"Are there any martial arts techniques you've practiced that you don't understand and that require my guidance?" Shangguan Wuqing asked Gu Chen.

"Yes," Gu Chen replied.

He has already mastered these two martial arts techniques to perfection through the copper bowl.

No guidance is needed.

But Shangguan Wuqing had already said all that.

If he were to say that he has already mastered these two martial arts, he would be incredibly naive.

He can take advantage of this opportunity.

If Shangguan Wuqing instructs him, he can then blame Shangguan Wuqing for using these two martial arts techniques in the future.

To avoid arousing suspicion.

Gu Chen stayed with Shangguan Wuqing for two days.

He had Shangguan Wuqing instruct him in martial arts for two days, and on the third day, he returned to Zhenshi County with Tie Yangtian.

Luo Tianxing also left the city of Huangzhou with the two of them and returned to his Yuehai County to prepare for Gu Chen's appointment.

Return to Zhenshi County.

Tie Yangtian asked Gu Chen, "Junior Brother, you'll be transferred to Yuehai County in a month. The position of Director of the Night Watch in Luo'an County will be vacant. Among the current staff of the Night Watch in Luo'an County, do you have any good candidates for the new Director?"

"Duan Xingchen, right? He's currently the second-in-command of the Night Watch in Luo'an County," Gu Chen said. "He has the cultivation of the early stage of the third realm of the Innate Realm, and his strength is sufficient for this position. He's also very reliable in his work. He contributed a lot during the recent efforts to eliminate those scattered demonic forces in Luo'an County."

"Promote him to the new Director of the Night Watch, and let Zhong Hao take over his original position as Deputy Director. Zhong Hao's strength and qualifications have met the requirements, and he has worked hard during this period. He is capable of this position," Gu Chen said.

"Okay, then we'll do it your way." Tie Yangtian nodded. "Once you leave Luo'an County, let Duan Xingchen take your place and let Zhong Hao take his place. I'll find a way to transfer the Night Watchman position that Zhong Hao vacated from other places."

"After you go back to Luo'an County and make the necessary arrangements, wait for your fourth senior brother to complete the formalities, and then you can go there to take up your post."

"Okay." Gu Chen nodded.

"By the way, the entire Night Watch of Luo'an County has done a great job in eliminating the demon, so they should be rewarded," Tie Yangtian said.

"You, Duan Xingchen, and Zhong Hao will each be promoted one rank as a reward. The rest of you will each receive ten pills corresponding to your cultivation level. I will write you a receipt. Go to the storeroom later to collect your rewards and take them back with you this time."

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded.

During this period, he single-handedly eliminated all the demonic forces within Luo'an County.

However, the other members of the Night Watch of Luo'an County also contributed a great deal.

For example, helping him strip the materials off the demon and helping him surround the demon to prevent it from escaping.

They have also made contributions and deserve a reward.
