Swallow purple energy in the morning and practice Xuan Gong at night.
Wang Chen returned to Xihai City and was promoted to the third floor of Zi Mansion without any surprises.
During his stay on Thunder Island, in addition to diligently practicing the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Technique, he also did not miss the practice of the Innate Five Elements Kung Fu.
As time goes by, I gain experience naturally.
With Wang Chen's current ability and understanding, it is still possible to condense the golden elixir even if there are no more points in the future.
The small realm breakthrough from the second floor to the third floor of Zi Mansion is nothing at all.
And his target is the high-ranking Zifu.
Of course, it would be best if you could condense the golden elixir in Xihaizong.
On the other hand, Wang Chen never got any clues about the "Path to the Sky".
Chang Chun only gave him a name back then.
Wang Chen once tried to find out more about it, both overtly and covertly, but found nothing.
But Wang Chen is not anxious, after all, the most important thing for him now is to improve his cultivation.
With strong strength, even if you fail to escape to the upper world in the end, you will have more confidence to survive the catastrophe in the future.
In fact, Wang Chen is quite satisfied with his current life.
The Xihai Zongshan Gate is rich in spiritual energy. There are both peaks for attracting purple energy and lake islands for practicing magic. There are countless exercises in the Zongmen's library, and you can often get Jindan lectures and guidance.
Although he is not a real person, as a low-level monk, what else can he ask for?
However, just when Wang Chen decided to stay on for another year or two and attack the middle level of Zifu, a talisman letter from the Ministry of Sect Affairs broke his peaceful life.
"Guarding the border counties of Xizhou?"
Wang Chen was very surprised by the assignment from the Agricultural Affairs Department: "I have already completed a limited task."
While sect disciples enjoy the benefits of the sect, they must also assume corresponding responsibilities and obligations.
Regardless of whether they are beginners or disciples, they are treated equally in this regard.
The so-called limited tasks are actually mandatory tasks with time limits and completion requirements.
If it cannot be completed or the task fails, it will be deducted with merit points.
If the merit points are not enough, Qing will withdraw from the inner sect or even the sect!
The last time we wiped out the Xuanyi horse thieves was a limited mission. It was less than a year ago, but there was a new assignment, which made Wang Chen feel very unhappy.
He did not believe that other inner disciples would receive limited tasks as frequently as he did.
Wang Chen's intuition told him that he was being targeted!
The deacon of the Zongfu Department replied expressionlessly: "That was completed last year, and this time it is completed this year."
Wang Chen's face turned pale: "But this mission will take three years!"
The new task assigned to him by the Ministry of Zong Affairs was to go to Xizhou County, hundreds of thousands of miles away, to serve as the guardian of the Celestial Master.
The term is three years.
This county town named Da Ying is located on the border of Xizhou. Being sent there to guard the Celestial Master has a strong sense of exile.
"The three years after completion are exempt from the restriction."
The deacon of the Zong Affairs Department looked at Wang Chen with a trace of pity hidden deep in his eyes: "This is the sect's rule."
He and Wang Chen had no grievances, so of course it was impossible to deliberately embarrass the latter.
Since this limited task was assigned by the superiors, he had no reason to relieve Wang Chen.
It can only be said that Wang Chen has bad luck.
Wang Chen calmed down: "I understand."
The deal was already done, and he, a small beginning disciple, had no room to resist.
Unless you leave the Xihai Sect and go somewhere else to become a casual cultivator.
As for using merit points as deductions...
Wang Chen doesn't have many merit points anymore. From the rewards from the last mission, he only has one or two hundred points left.
"The place in Xizhou is a bit more difficult."
Seeing that Wang Chen did not do anything extreme, the deacon of the Zong Affairs Department secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief: "But the rewards from the sect are still very generous."
Ten bottles of Ziyun Pill, ten bottles of Yuan-Building Pill, ten bottles of Soul-Nourishing Pill, plus five hundred spirits and a set of second-level robes.
This was the first annual salary Wang Chen received.
During the mission, he will receive the same salary every year.
And it was only given by the sect, and the local county and city had other enshrinements.
The position of the guarding heavenly master in the sect is equivalent to that of an external official, and it is mainly divided into two types: long-term and short-term.
Wang Chen's three-year term is short-term, but long-term may be permanent.
When Wang Chen was in the Yunyang Sect, he once served as a guarding heavenly master and was sent to small local towns to suppress evil spirits.
But the Guardian Celestial Master of the Yunyang Sect and the Guardian Celestial Master of the Xihai Sect are completely different things.
The power of the latter is much greater!
In fact, for many disciples with no bright future, it is quite good to be sent abroad to be a guarding heavenly master.
Especially if you are sent to a wealthy and stable city, you can earn a lot of training resources after a few years.
But being assigned to Xizhou, which is relatively barren and in a border area, is undoubtedly a hard job!
There is considerable compensation from the sect, for example, the reward points will be higher.
The problem is that Wang Chen just wants to practice peacefully.
Therefore, he was completely indifferent to the comforting words of the deacon of the Affiliated Affairs Department.
"You have half a month to take office. If you fail to arrive after the deadline, you will be punished according to the sect rules. Remember this!"
After leaving the Zong Affairs Department, Wang Chen rushed to Wanling City.
Now he is no longer alone, he already has care and ties here.
After three years, arrangements must be made.
"Mr. Lang is going to Da Ying in Xizhou to be the guardian of the heavenly master?"
When Xu Xinlan knew that Wang Chen was about to go to Xizhou, she said without thinking: "I will go with you!"
For Xu Xinlan, nothing is more important than Wang Chen.
Not to mention leaving her hometown, even if she betrays the sect, she is willing to follow Wang Chen.
"No."
Wang Chen touched Xu Xinlan's pretty face and said, "You can practice hard in Wanling City and wait for me for three years."
He has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles, and there are unpredictable fortunes and misfortunes. He can advance and retreat freely alone, and taking Xu Xinlan with him may not be able to protect him fully.
Xu Xinlan is just practicing qi and cultivating herself, so there is absolutely no need to go to Xizhou and endure hardships with him.
Even though Xu Xinlan was extremely reluctant to give up, she also knew that it would be difficult for her to help Wang Chen and would instead become a burden to the latter.

Furthermore, three years is not a very long time for a monk.
She nodded silently, her eyes already wet with tears.
Three days later, Wang Chen boarded the airship ahead in Xizhou.
Zuo Xiaomo came to see him off.
When leaving, he said with great guilt: "Senior Brother Wang, it was me who caused you trouble."
Wang Chen has always been low-key and keeps to himself. He has neither many friends nor enemies.
Anyone who has a grudge against him is probably inseparable from Zuo Xiaomo!
Although the truth is unknown, Zuo Xiaomo knows very well that this matter must be related to him!
"Stop talking nonsense."
Wang Chen patted his shoulder: "I'm not going to die. I'm not going to get involved or not. You can help me take good care of Xinlan. If you can tolerate anything, you can tolerate it or let it go. Wait until I come back."
