Chapter 164: Promotion from the Eighth Grade to the Left Judge
On the second day after passing the Taoist Confucian classics and law assessment, the Immortal Court promotion decree was sent to Yunshui Residence.
Two "top-notch" excellent results, not very old, and have not been practicing Taoism for a long time.
Unsurprisingly, Chu Chen became the key training target of the Immortal Court, and was promoted from Dharma to Immortal Position.
The ninth-grade life-preserving urn was promoted to the eighth-grade and seventh-grade urn.
The seven elements are the vitality of the seven orifices of the ears, eyes, nose, and mouth.
Compared with the ninth-grade magic urn, the eighth-grade dharma urn is even more remarkable.
Wearing the Qi Yuan Qi, the divine soldiers will protect you and save your life.
These "divine soldiers and generals" are not the actual bodies of heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, but the vitality of the ears, eyes, nose, and mouth, and the seven orifices, which are combined with "Dao Qi" to transform into seven protector gods and generals to protect the body and life.
The strength of the Seven-Yuan Dharma Protector General is far inferior to that of the Internal Refining God General, and it cannot be used as a means of fighting.
However, it can ward off disasters and save lives at critical moments, which is quite practical and much more powerful than the ninth-grade magical urn.
When Fa Lu was promoted, his immortal position was naturally promoted as well.
The ninth-grade fumigator is promoted to the eighth-grade fumigator, and the right grand judge of the Arctic Exorcism Academy is promoted to the left judge (from the eighth grade).
After being promoted to the immortal position, the monthly salary will also increase.
One hundred jade coins per month for magicians starting from the eighth level (seventy-five jade coins from the ninth level)
Judge Zuo of the Exorcism Court has one hundred jade coins per month (same as above)
The total monthly salary is two hundred jade coins.
Finally it’s not two hundred and five.
The reason why his salary has become lower is because Chu Chen has not yet taken up any actual position in Xianting.
Joining the Guangping County Ghosts and Gods Department, the monthly salary of an eighth-grade immortal official is 150, which adds up to 350. The salary has increased significantly.
Chu Chen was very happy when his salary increased.
A few hundred jade coins a month is not much, but it is better than a long stream of water. Not every time you go out to hunt for treasures, you will gain something.
These days, money is hard to make and shit is hard to eat.
...
Chen Mansion.
The news that Chu Chen was promoted from the eighth rank to the Immortal Official blew through the Chen Mansion like a gust of wind. Both the Chen family and the servants in the manor seemed quite happy.
The Chen family has gradually declined over the years, but as a scholarly family, the Chen family's knowledge is not comparable to that of a small family.
The Chen family knew the immortal officials of the Taoist Immortal Court very well, and understood that Chu Chen would have a great path to immortality.
That day, after Chu Chen returned home, he obviously felt something different.
First there are the concierges, servants, servants, etc.
Since his enlightenment, the Chen family's servants have treated him with respect and politeness on the surface, but in private, there are always some people who gossip about him and how ignorant he was back then.
Now when he returned home, Chu Chen found that the people in the Chen family were extremely enthusiastic towards him, with flattery and flattery written all over their faces, and they were respectful and respectful.
Chu Chen was a little confused at first.
However, he soon figured it out.
In this world where demons, humans and ghosts live together, no matter who you are, you will always encounter demons and ghosts several times.
Ordinary people will encounter evil spirits from time to time. Even if they don't encounter it themselves, their relatives living outside the city will definitely encounter it.
My young master entered the Department of Ghosts and Gods. In the future, he would encounter things involving demons, ghosts and gods, and he would feel more at ease now that he had acquaintances.
The servants of the Chen family thought that they would definitely ask Chu Chen for personal matters in the future, so they would not dare to neglect them. They all served them respectfully, just to be familiar with them.
If something really happens in the future, it will definitely be better to ask the young master for help than to report it to the official yourself.
In addition to the servants of the Chen family, other elders of the Chen family also became more and more polite to Chu Chen.
As soon as he returned home, the maid brought several pastries, all of which were given by the elders in the family.
"Brother, congratulations on being promoted to Judge Zuo!"
My younger brother Pengju took leave from Baihe Academy to go home today to congratulate his elder brother.
"Hmm~"
Chu Chen nodded with a smile and asked:
"Pengju, can you still keep up with your homework in the academy?"
Chen Pengju: "It was a bit difficult at first, but now I can catch up. A few days ago, the teacher praised me for being a teachable kid!"
"Haha not bad!"
Chu Chen chatted with his younger brother Pengju.
Father Chen and Mother Chen saw the two brothers talking with smiles on their faces.
After some small talk, Chen’s father, Chen Jia, smiled and said:
"Chu'er, will you return to Xin'an County to work next, or stay in Guangping County?"
Chu Chen understood what the two elders were thinking:
"It hasn't been decided yet, but master and uncle want me to take up a position in the county's Department of Ghosts and Gods."
Chen Jia nodded in approval:
"Listen to your master and uncle."
"The county's Department of Ghosts and Gods is too small. You will be the deputy capital manager when you go down. It may seem like a high-ranking position, but in fact there is not much room for you to show off your skills, which is not conducive to your accumulation of merits."
"Unless you go to any county to be in charge of the Ghosts and Gods Department, if you are an ordinary ninth-grade or eighth-grade immortal official, the County Ghosts and Gods Department is better. There are more opportunities to make meritorious deeds."
When it comes to the matter of the Department of Ghosts and Gods, Chen Jiaxian speaks clearly and to the point.
Chu Chen was also a little surprised. This insight was very expert.
"What my father said is that right now my master and uncle are planning for me, but it's not easy to get into the County Ghosts and Gods Department. I don't know how to arrange it yet."
Chen Jia first saw his son's slightly surprised expression and felt quite satisfied. Fortunately, he had done enough homework in advance, otherwise he would be embarrassed in front of his son.
It is so tiring to have children who are more promising than themselves.
Chen Jiaxian sighed inwardly, pretending to be experienced and knowledgeable, and said calmly:
"You don't need to worry. With your performance in the Taoist Academy and your master and uncle, it won't be difficult for you to enter the County Ghosts and Gods Department. It just depends on which academy you are placed in."
Chu Chen took the opportunity to compliment:
"Father is so knowledgeable, even the Ghosts and Gods Division understands him so well."
"That is!"
Chen Jia puffed up his chest first, feeling quite satisfied.
...
Come out of Chen Mansion and return to Yunshui Residence.
Before the master came back, Chu Chen started to practice by himself.
It was difficult to gather the energy of the sun during [Hunyuan Form Refining] in broad daylight, so he practiced [Vajra Spiritual Power Sword Technique] and cultivated by harvesting the energy from outside the sky.
Tianwai Yuanqi contains pure Hunyuan Qi, which is more powerful and powerful than the Qi of Taiyin and Sun.
Using the [Vajra Spiritual Sword Technique] to enlighten the Yuan Lord in the body, not only will there be no obstacles in practicing, but they will complement each other and greatly make up for the shortcomings of the [Hunyuan Refining].
This is also one of the important reasons why he was able to enlighten Er Yuanjun, the "Yuanjun of the Five Senses", as a Yuanling.
Of course, the most wonderful use of [Vajra Spiritual Sword Technique] is enlightenment.
If you haven't learned this great method of reaching the sky, it would be simply wishful thinking to achieve [White Crane and Purple Zhi Escape].
The benefits of this powerful method are subtle and become more and more obvious the further you go.
The only problem is that it's a bit expensive.
For more than a month, Chu Chen has spent three thousand jade coins practicing with [Tongtian Ruyi Xinxiang].
In addition to refining weapons, another two thousand jade coins were spent.
Twenty-seven thousand jade coins suddenly left only twenty-two thousand jade coins.
If you spend the money, the results will be very good.
The four hundred soldiers and horses in his urn all turned into yellow turban warriors, and his strength increased greatly.
After being promoted to the eighth level in Taoist cultivation, the divine general Guan Yu was also promoted to the eighth level.
This also means that the soldiers and horses under his command can be promoted from ninth-level Taoist soldiers to eighth-level Taoist soldiers.
After practicing the [Diamond Spiritual Power Sword Technique] once, Chu Chen went to Yihunxinxiang and started to train weapons again.
Unknowingly, it was evening and Master Xu Ping Daoxing came back.
"Master, master, has senior brother's immortal position been fulfilled?"
As soon as the kid saw Taoist Xu Ping, he rushed over to inquire about the news, even more eagerly than Chu Chen, the client.
