"Master, should I start planning to go further now?"
Chu Chen was surprised when he heard his master's reminder.
He had just come out of the Taoist Academy. He had been promoted one level, from the ninth grade to the eighth grade, and became the deputy leader of Class A and Class B of Huanghaoyuan.
The next step is to be promoted to an eighth-grade immortal official, or a first-grade deputy leader.
The best result is that those in the Immortal Court will be promoted to their actual posts while those in the Department of Ghosts and Gods will be promoted at the same time.
No matter which one, as long as it can take a further step, it will be a happy event for Chu Chen.
To be honest, he had just been promoted to the eighth-grade immortal official and had not yet thought about taking a further step.
Taoist priest Xu Ping nodded:
"That's right! You've done a lot of good work by killing the disaster beast. You have just been promoted to the County's Ghosts and Gods Department, and your qualifications are relatively low. The most important thing is that your Taoist cultivation has just been promoted to the eighth level, so it is not easy to be promoted for the time being."
"If it were another deputy squad leader with seniority, whose Taoist practice and magical power are obvious to all, I'm afraid your squad leader has already hinted that he is expected to be promoted."
Taoist priest Xu Ping has been in charge of ghost affairs for a long time and has a clear understanding of the promotion and transfer of immortal officials. He explained the rules to Chu Chen in detail.
Chu Chen nodded, still a little confused.
"Master, since I have a junior qualification and insufficient cultivation, doesn't it mean that I don't meet the requirements for promotion for the time being?"
Taoist Xu Ping shook his head:
"My teacher said that the selection of immortal officials in the Immortal Court is never based on seniority, but on meritorious performance and potential. Especially for eighth- and ninth-grade immortal officials, as long as their cultivation potential is sufficient, they will be promoted quickly."
"It will be more difficult to be promoted when you reach the seventh level and be in charge of the affairs of ghosts and gods. It requires real merit and ability."
"Although our Lingshan sect is not a big sect, it still has a certain influence in Guangping County's Ghost and God Division."
"As long as you show your due strength, you will definitely be promoted immediately, not to mention, you have really made a contribution."
Chu Chen suddenly realized.
Master has made it very clear.
With the strength of the Shimen Lingshan Sect, all immortal officials below the seventh rank can carry out their duties.
There is no need to make outstanding achievements, just work conscientiously and make no mistakes.
As long as his strength allows, he can rise.
This is the advantage of having a sect and a backer. If you are below the seventh rank, you don't have to plan and plan for a small step in promotion.
If Chu Chen really made a contribution, it would be easier for the Lingshan sect to operate for him. He would be upright and confident.
Right now, the only problem is that Chu Chen has just entered the eighth level and has not shown convincing strength.
In fact, although Chu Chen was new to the eighth level of Taoism, his cultivation level was not weak.
Other monks may be worried about the invasion of external demons, so their cultivation is bumpy and slow, and their improvement is slow.
Chu Chen has excellent cultivation methods such as [Golden Light Talisman Technique] and [Diamond Spiritual Power Sword Technique]. When practicing, he is not afraid of external demons at all. He is vigorous and diligent, and his cultivation can be achieved twice the result with half the effort. His cultivation speed is far faster than that of ordinary monks.
In addition, he also has the opportunity of Holy Yuan Miaodan and Tianhu Yuanqi.
In a few months, Chu Chen's Taoist practice improved very quickly, and he was not like a monk who had just entered the eighth-level Taoist practice.
His Taoist cultivation is completely in the middle of the eighth-grade monks.
As for magical powers, Chu Chen is not weak either. Whether it is military magic or the magic he has practiced, he is very good.
Chu Chen already understood what the master meant.
The reason why his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, asked him to plan for promotion was not only because of his great achievements today, but also because he was about to master the magic [Shuang Guan Marshal's True Form Technique], and his Taoist magical powers were improving rapidly, and he was fully qualified to take the next step.
"Master, I have almost mastered the [Marshal Guan's True Shape Talisman], and my magical powers are expected to improve further."
"Great kindness!"
Taoist priest Xu Ping nodded with satisfaction:
"You are different from other disciples of the same generation in our Lingshan Sect. You have developed Suhui, and your conduct in life is not lacking in wisdom."
"You have been ignorant for twenty years. Once you become enlightened, you should work hard and catch up. Neither your teacher nor your uncle will pressure you or temper you. You can rest assured and soar into the sky. Don't live up to your talent."
"Thank you so much, master, uncle!"
Chu Chen felt grateful. Master and uncle really thought about him and did not follow the rules, but taught students according to their aptitude.
Taoist priest Xu Ping nodded slightly and said solemnly:
"You only need to remember one sentence."
"You can fly in a clear sky, but don't imitate a moth."
Chu Chen understood the horoscope of master carefully. After a long time, he nodded slightly.
"Master, I understand."
Taoist priest Xu Ping glanced at his apprentice:
"Do you really understand?"
"I really understand!"
Taoist priest Xu Ping nodded with satisfaction and then left.
Looking at the figure of the master heading to the clean room for practice, a faint smile appeared on Chu Chen's face.
Although the Lingshan sect is not a big sect, it is quite cozy.
Master, Master Boyunlei, taught him according to his aptitude, did not overwhelm him, gave him everything he had, paved the way for him, and gave him a stage to shine. His only expectation was that he would not stray into evil heretics.
Just as the horoscope "If you can fly in a clear sky, don't imitate moths", he has a bright future, but don't imitate moths and go astray, leading to your own destruction.
...
After his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, left, Chu Chen made some repairs, called out the Heart Temple, and understood the [Marshal Zhao Guan True Shape Technique].
After burning the incense, Chu Chen put down his ink pen and picked up the talisman on the desk, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
[Marshal Guan’s True Shape Talisman] It’s done!
Pinch out the military tactics.
Guan Yunchang, the evil general, came to Thunder Gate.
"I've met the mage!"
After continuous internal training, the god general became more and more spiritual. He vaguely saw the spiritual talisman [Marshal Guan's True Shape Talisman] in Chu Chen's hand, and a look of alarm appeared on his face.
"Well, I've called you here today to wish you a promotion to the top class. Just wait and see!"
"yes!"
Next, Chu Chen sat cross-legged on the futon in the clean room, calmly regulating his true breath, and his spiritual light moved away.
I imagine a blue moon shining on a cold pond.
First recite the Marshal's Oath of Loyalty and Righteousness:
"The sword is soaring in the clouds, and Shi is called a tiger minister. A righteous enemy of a country, and the strength of all gods. Shu spreads its wings, and Wu dismantles its Lin. It is a pity that it is loyal and courageous, unparalleled before and after. A powerful sound, Guan certain law."
As Chu Chen recited the incantation, a divine light descended from the void realm and landed on Guan Yunchang, the evil general.
The god general looked solemn, said nothing, and was immersed in a certain world.
Chu Chen nodded with satisfaction. The divine general was baptized by the divine light, which was quite smooth.
So he continued to recite the mantra.
"One qi combines virtue, water and fire absorb essence. Yang moves and yin responds, all gods are born. Red and black linger, black smoke nourishes the spirit. It makes me insightful and profound. I am quick to call and respond, and I am ordered to be clear. Hurry is like wisdom.
The Great Emperor's Law and Order."
What I am reciting is the Divine General's Spell, the Divine General's True Form Talisman. The previous Spell is not enough. I need to strengthen the Spell to control the Divine General smoothly.
"Guan Yu, the divine official, overturns the world. He holds the power of the sky and the power of the true king. He breathes thunder and shakes the mountains and rivers. I swear to cut off the source of evil everywhere. I hold the sword in my hand and call the saints to gather the immortals. If you dare to miss it, I will kill you with an inch.
Wuyuan. The thunder is running fast, and the yellow ax is flying in the sky. You have borne a heavy oath, and the laws are accurate and Taixuan. You are as anxious as the laws and orders!"
As Chu Chen recited the incantation, the spiritual talisman [Marshal Guan's True Shape Talisman] in his hand spontaneously ignited without fire.
The spiritual talisman turned into a stream of divine light, flew towards the Demon General Guan Yunchang, and disappeared into the body of the divine general.
Quietly, subtle changes occurred in General Guan Yu.
