Chapter 52: Benefiting Soul and Xinxiang [Please read]
In the first half of the night, I rushed to Qingyun Mountain to handle the case, and in the second half of the night, I summoned the internal refining generals. The whole night was almost over.
Immortal cultivators never need sleep.
After the master and the little devil left, Chu Chen, an art master who was weak and listless, boldly began to collect the energy of Taiyin at night to practice and restore his magic power.
Most practitioners would not dare to be so reckless.
When your mana is empty and your spirit is listless, if you force yourself to practice collecting herbs at this time, it is easy for evil spirits to take advantage of it and cause trouble.
Chu Chen relied on the Golden Light Divine Mantra and the double protection of the Heart Temple, so he didn't worry at all.
Even before he started to practice collecting herbs, he deliberately did not recite the Golden Light Mantra. He only recited the divine mantras such as purifying the mouth, purifying the mind, and purifying the body, and waited for the devil to come to his door.
The stars are scattered, the moon is hidden, and the sky is slightly bright.
Chu Chen slowly woke up from the futon in front of the altar in the clean room and sighed, feeling quite regretful.
"I didn't come. It seems I thought too much."
Last night, when his mana was depleted and his spirit was depressed, he had an idea and used himself as bait to lure the devil to his door.
It’s a pity that the “fishing law enforcement” failed.
The devil will not be fooled at all.
From late night to early morning, his practice of collecting herbs went smoothly, and no external demons invaded to disrupt his practice.
This made Chu Chen sigh with emotion. His dream of "getting rich and practicing shortcuts" was shattered.
After gathering the energy of Taiyin at night, Chu Chen's body's magic power was restored to some extent.
After a moment of activity, he continued to absorb the energy of the sun for a week.
After practicing some medicine and collecting medicine, his body was full of magic power, full of energy, and his whole body was resurrected with full blood.
Chu Chen thought for a while, took out the Nine Nether Token from the Immortal Cave of the Bracelet, and immersed himself in it.
As expected, someone in the Nine Nether League was talking about Mr. Qingyun and the Qingyu Empress.
[Qingying: The love between Mr. Qingyun and Empress Qingyu is so touching and such a pity.]
[Ling Yun Sword Immortal: What a pity for Mr. Qingyun, a genius born in heaven, but it is a pity that he was blinded by love when he was young and made such an outrageous contract promise. 】
[Great Sage Tuntian: Indeed, if he has a foundation of meritorious deeds, not to mention achieving the golden elixir path, becoming a god will definitely be a matter of searching for things.]
[Qingying: Humph, as you can see, compared to others, my father’s funding is much more friendly, and I will definitely not let you agree to such harsh conditions! 】
[Ling Yun Sword Immortal: That’s right, Mr. Long is my nobleman. Without him, I wouldn’t be where I am today! 】
[King Black Wind: That’s right! Lord Dragon has been as kind to me as a mountain...]
...
Chu Chen snorkeled and eavesdropped. When he heard that the follow-up words were all flattering words, he immediately became confused.
It's all bullshit, just listen to it, don't take it seriously.
Before the entrepreneur had a falling out with the funder’s father, he would have shed tears of gratitude and kept saying, “Without Mr. Long’s help, I wouldn’t be where I am today.” Yunyun.
When there is an actual conflict of interest between the two parties, the situation will be different.
Thousand-year-old families, giants and wealthy families, in order to ensure the continued prosperity of their family, often lavishly fund young leaders with excellent talents and outstanding potential.
The grievances and resentments between the sponsor and the sponsored party have been secretly staged countless times, with various endings, which is not surprising.
Whether it is good or bad, profit or loss, others cannot judge, only the person involved knows it in his heart.
However, Chu Chen had to admit it.
Diyuan Longjun's funding should be considered relatively friendly, and the contract commitments signed are relatively less demanding, making him a friendly "angel investor".
It's a pity that Diyuan Longjun's funding chips failed to impress Chu Chen, and the two parties failed to come to an agreement.
If Diyuan Longjun has a bigger chip.
For example, if you recruit him to be the son-in-law of Chenglong, he may really be unable to control it.
Think about it, this will save him many years of hard work, and he will have to be forced to eat his soft rice!
Chu Chen wandered to a street noodle shop and ate a bowl of egg noodles. After eating and drinking, he reported to the Ghosts and Gods Division.
The scholar had some insights last night, and is expected to make further progress in the art of painting, so he asked for leave today.
In the next few days, Chu Chen and Huang Fugui teamed up again to handle the errands of the Ghosts and Gods Department.
However, the errand of going to the countryside to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters is no longer available.
To be precise, for a long time to come, the Department of Ghosts and Gods will not need to send patrols to the countryside to drive away evil spirits and eliminate disasters.
Last night, Mr. Qingyun and Lady Qingyu sacrificed themselves to cleanse the heaven and earth. The evil spirits in the people around Xin'an County were eliminated. They were all strong and strong, and it was difficult for evil spirits to invade in the short term.
Naturally, the colleagues in the Ghosts and Gods Division were overjoyed about this.
Exorcising evil spirits and eliminating disasters is a hard job, and it is always done by a small number of people in counties, towns, villages and towns. Most people have to run errands here and there, which is thankless.
Only Chu Chen was a little disappointed. For him, going to the countryside to drive away evil spirits and eliminate disasters was the best practice.
To benefit the people of a certain area, the daily merit will be increased by one level, and there is a chance of manifesting a spell. There is no better way to practice than this in the world.
"What a pity! The good days will never come back together."
Chu Chen was filled with emotion.
Without the ability to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate disasters, if there is no errand, the inspectors of the Ghosts and Gods Division usually stay at the Ghosts and Gods Division Yamen and only go out when there is a case, which is quite boring.
A whole day passed. Chu Chen and Huang Fugui only received one errand. They went to the northern suburbs of the county to handle a murder case and investigate whether it was related to demons and gods.
The two of them rushed over excitedly.
After some investigation, the two returned disappointed.
It was a bloody family ethics drama, with no demons or gods involved, and the two of them did not take too much part in it. Everything was left to the county government officials.
As long as there are no demons or ghosts involved, no matter how big the case is, it has nothing to do with the Department of Ghosts and Gods.
In the next few days, Chu Chen was still very leisurely.
During this period, although he received several errands and visited all the cities, suburbs, towns and villages, in the end, none of the several cases were followed up. They were either family ethics dramas or trivial matters.
In fact, this is the normal situation for the inspectors of the Department of Ghosts and Gods. They do not deal with monsters and ghosts every day. The perpetrators of many human life cases are often the human race themselves, rather than evil spirits causing trouble.
With nothing to do and full of energy, Chu Chen and Huang Fugui went to the ghost market again.
After some inquiries in the ghost market, Chu Chen was shocked to find that his worth had skyrocketed—the Bone Empress's reward for him had increased to one thousand jade coins.
Chu Chen was speechless.
Just for finding him, he would be given "a thousand jade coins".
Good guy, how much the White Bone Empress hates him!
I am afraid that every time he is hunted down by the imperial court, his hatred for him will become stronger. Over time, his resentment will build up.
"No wonder Master now lets the little devil follow me every day."
Chu Chen suddenly realized.
He is not too afraid of the White Bone Demon's revenge. The little devil's omens of "good luck" may not be accurate, but his prediction of "bad luck" is very effective. He can be called the little crow prince in the crow's mouth.
As long as the little devil lay on the bookcase behind him and didn't make any noise, Chu Chen felt at ease.
After the two bought something in the ghost market, they didn't stay long and went back immediately.
Chu Chen purchased Huang Fu and Yihun Xinxiang.
You can buy ordinary yellow talismans with silver coins, and they are not expensive.
The soul-boosting incense is a spiritual thing and cannot be bought with money. You have to use jade money to buy it.
Chu Chen bought three packs of Yihun Xinxiang for one hundred and fifty jade. His net worth suddenly shrank by more than half, which made him feel bad.
But there’s nothing you can do about it, it’s a necessary expense.
After having a divine general, the soldiers and horses in the urn need soul-boosting incense to nourish ghosts to "refine the soldiers", and the yin soldiers and yin generals can be refined into the subordinates of the divine general, and their strength will be greatly increased.
In addition, Yihun Xinxiang can also assist in training generals.
From now on, Chu Chen's monthly salary of fifty jade coins will probably be spent on training generals and soldiers.
