Immortal tribute is an additional offering given to immortal officials by the Immortal Court. It is quite precious and only immortal officials in important positions have the opportunity to obtain it.
There is a saying in the Celestial Court that whether one holds real power depends on whether there is any immortal tribute given every year without looking at anything else.
Immortal tribute can be exchanged for skills, magical powers, treasures, magic tools, etc. from the Immortal Court Treasury, which are extremely precious.
Although Chu Chen obtained thirty-five immortal tributes in one go, he felt that the immortal tribute was worthless.
The reason why the Immortal Court is so generous is because of the fate of the Yunlin Kingdom. The power of telepathy has been weakened for thousands of years, which has shaken the foundation of the country. This is an event with great influence. The Immortal Court has given thirty-five immortal tributes one after another.
Under normal circumstances, if a small county manager works diligently for a year without making any serious mistakes and passes the evaluation, the Immortal Court will grant him five immortal tributes. This shows that it is normal.
From his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, Chu Chen quickly learned that the [Tao Tianjun True Form Talisman] required "fifty immortal tribute".
In other words, the master and uncle helped him create fifteen immortal palaces, which is equivalent to the immortal tribute that senior brother Zhenqing received after working conscientiously in Liuye County for three years and completing one term.
This gift is quite heavy.
"Master, this gift is too valuable. Master, neither you nor my uncle Tao Tianjun were able to refine the [Tao Tianjun True Form Talisman]."
Chu Chen was quite moved.
"You are my master and your uncle doesn't want to sacrifice the [Tao Tianjun True Form Talisman]!"
Taoist priest Xu Ping shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"After redeeming it in the Immortal Court Treasure House, you are only allowed to enlighten yourself and cannot transfer it to others. We would rather spend the immortal tribute elsewhere, but you are different. You are an enlightened person with extraordinary understanding and deep immortality. I will definitely redeem it for you.
Nothing is wasted.”
"this..."
Chu Chen was still a little hesitant.
"Okay, stop talking, just accept it if I ask you to."
As the saying goes, elders dare not refuse gifts.
With half-hearted reluctance, "No, no, no, it's so embarrassing," Chu Chen accepted the gift from his master and uncle.
Taoist Master Xu Ping set up a simple altar on the spot, with lights, fruits and fragrance, and everything was ready. Then he asked Chu Chen to call out the seventh-grade Dharma urn "Dingjia urn", and he quickly transferred the fifteen immortal tributes to him.
Chu Chen.
After doing this, Taoist Master Xu Ping hurried over to congratulate his junior brother and teach him the scriptures, which he did very wholeheartedly.
Chu Chen looked at his master's leaving figure, and a warm current surged in his heart.
Chu Chen was not surprised at all when his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, gave the immortal tribute to him and exchanged it for the "Tao Tianjun True Form Talisman".
Master had vaguely revealed this intention before, but at that time his deputy "Tao Tianjun" was not deep enough in internal training, so he declined, and Master did not persist.
What surprised him was that the master, Taoist Boyunlei, also gave out the Five Immortal Tributes this time.
Chu Chen thought to himself.
Presumably, the master had already prepared the required immortal tribute for him, but the master, Taoist Boyunlei, made up his mind temporarily.
He showed his talent and potential, and the great uncle decided to devote his efforts to train him.
But no matter what, it was a friendship, and Chu Chen felt quite happy.
Although the Lingshan sect is small, it is more humane and does not have the intrigues and interests of the larger sects. It is quite united and friendly.
...
The next day, the apprenticeship banquet started as scheduled.
The second uncle and the fourth uncle are far away from home and it is inconvenient to come to the banquet.
However, the apprenticeship banquet was quite lively, much more lively than when Chu Chen became his apprentice.
Senior officials of the Guangping County Government, several directors of the County Ghosts and Gods Department, the dean, Guangping Taoist Temple, local sects and families... All the prominent people in Guangping did not attend the banquet in person, but they also sent people to congratulate them, and they were full of cards.
Chu Chen felt a little sour, but he was more happy.
When he first became a disciple, the Lingshan Sect did not have such a big reputation in Guangping County.
But with the efforts of everyone in the sect, the influence of the Lingshan sect in the entire Guangping County is growing, forming a considerable force that no one dares to underestimate.
Chu Chen also contributed a bit, which is an honor for You.
Of course, the happiest people are the parents of junior brother He Tong.
He Tong's father was an old boy who had read books about saints and sages, had participated in imperial examinations, and was well-informed. He was not a country man who knew nothing.
When he learned that his son He Tong had entered Taoism in just half a month and had extremely extraordinary talent, he regretted hastily handing over his son to Taoist Master Xu Ping.
He asked people about it and found out that the Lingshan Sect had a poor reputation and was a small sect. It would be a huge disadvantage for his son to join a small sect.
With this condition, I can definitely send it to the big sect.
Father He Tong was so angry that he called him sloppy.
It was just because of the rules that it was difficult to go back on his word, so He Tong's father did not have an attack and asked his son to join another family.
However, after the apprenticeship banquet, He Tong's stereotype changed greatly.
It seems...Lingshan Sect is not like an ordinary small sect...
After the apprenticeship banquet, Father He Tong took his junior brother to a deserted place and asked about the Lingshan Sect.
He Tong didn't have any scheming, he told the truth and shared some information about his master with his family.
"Dad, our school is very good. My master, uncle, and brothers are very good to me..."
"Dad, are you talking about the great uncle? I heard that he is the deputy director of the Department of Ghosts and Gods in Guangping County..."
"My senior brothers are also very powerful. The eldest brother is in charge of the Ghost and God Department in Liuye County, and my senior brother Chu Chen is in charge of the Ghost and God Department in Yunlin County. However, my senior brother seems to be more powerful than the eldest brother..."
"Yunlin is a big county and Liuye is a small county. Your senior brother is indeed more powerful. He has achieved such achievements at such a young age!"
Father He Tong murmured to himself, quite shocked.
At a young age, fellow disciples made everyone the county governor, taking charge of the affairs of demons and gods.
When He Tong saw his father praising his senior brother, a smile appeared on his face:
"Well~ Senior brother is really amazing. It is said that he, like me, failed to enter Taoism a year ago, and he has achieved this level of cultivation just over a year after becoming a disciple."
Father He Tong was extremely surprised: "Is this true? This...how is this possible?"
"Dad, how could I lie to you? It's absolutely true! Senior brother is not only profound in morality, he is also very kind to me. He gave me an extremely precious treasure as soon as we met..."
...
Chu Chen holds an important position and cannot stay in Guangping County for a long time.
After attending the apprenticeship banquet of his junior brother, Chu Chen took the opportunity to visit the scholar, Lin Miaoyin, and then went to Guangping Taoist Temple to communicate with the treasure trove of the Immortal Court through the Taoist Temple's altar.
After spending fifty immortal tributes, he successfully redeemed the secret technique of [Tao Tianjun True Form Talisman] and understood the mystery of the "Tao Talisman".
Compared with [Fengdu Demon General Guan Yuanshuai], Chu Chen's fate with [Tao Tianjun] is relatively poor, and there is a situation where "it's all revealed". At first glance, he failed to understand the true form of [Tao Tianjun].
However, Chu Chen was not discouraged.
Recite "Tao Tianjun's Edict", meditate on "Tao Tianjun", and try to understand "the true form of Tao Tianjun, the Five Thunders of Heavenly Medicine".
"The ceremony of surrendering one's heart to one's destiny. Xuanhuang Chaos, Longhan divides the truth. The Three Heavens Nine Heavens Palm Dharma Division, Hunyuan Thunder Heaven Hospital. Attack the Qi and reduce diseases, and take charge of the five thunder retribution generals. Regulate the yin and yang, issue orders. Punish evil spirits and ghosts, and save droughts."
