Dongfang Runhong nodded, turned to look at Gu An and the other five, pointed at the young man and said, "An Yuan, my capable general, I usually leave all matters in the courtyard to him."
Gu An and the other five said in unison: "I have met Senior Brother An."
An Yuan cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Junior brothers, there is no need to be polite."
Within the Suppression of Evil Division, they are also referred to as senior fellow apprentices. Although Gu An and the others are still servant disciples, who can say for sure what will happen in the future.
"I hope you have a good time in Zhenxie Division."
The corners of Dongfang Runhong's mouth raised slightly:
"They will leave it to you first."
With that said, Dongfang Runhong said to Gu An: "About the reward for your first place in the assessment, someone will inform you in the afternoon."
Gu An immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, sir."
Dongfang Runhong nodded slightly and walked towards the courtyard.
"Farewell, Your Excellency."
An Yuan took the lead and bowed his hands, and Gu An and others followed suit.
After Dongfang Runhong left, An Yuan turned around, looked Gu An up and down, and said with a smile: "Because of the Jingshan incident a few days ago, your Excellency sent me to investigate, and I just came back last night.
As soon as I came back, I heard rumors in the department that Gu An defeated the third son of the Xia family with one punch with his ninth level of body tempering strength.
Won the first place in this assessment.
Unexpectedly, I came everywhere."
Gu An's expression did not change: "Xia Jun has just entered the Dan Condensation Realm and has not yet had time to consolidate his realm. In addition, my physique is quite special, so I can defeat him."
As soon as Gu An said this, all the people who were in the same period as him, except Chen Muzhi, showed expressions of sudden realization.
"So that's it!"
"No wonder Gu An is so strong."
Apparently they've also heard about special physiques.
"No matter how you defeat Xia Jun, as long as you defeat him, it means that your strength is superior. When you break through to Condensation Core, I want to have a fight with you."
Gu An's expression froze when he heard what An Yuan said.
The realm of condensation...
"Then Senior Brother An may have to wait a little longer."
An originally thought that Gu An was saying that it would take a long time for him to break through, so he immediately waved his hand and said: "To tell you the truth, I heard about you before because of Tao Xiaoqi's incident.
It only took you a month to go from the eighth level of body tempering to the ninth level. With this speed of cultivation, I believe you will be able to reach the realm of pill condensation very soon.
Let’s go, I’ll take you to meet another person first.”
Not long after, An Yuan led Gu An and the others to a yard where a lot of iron ore was piled.
When a plump figure in the courtyard saw An Yuan, his eyes lit up and he ran over quickly: "Senior Brother An! I didn't expect you to be back. You must have been lucky along the way.
Why don't I set up a few tables at Cuijiang Tower tonight to welcome you?"
"Okay, okay, I came back last night, it's just that you don't know."
An Yuan pointed at Gu An and the other five: "These are our new disciples this year. It's up to you to tell them the rules and so on."
"His name is Zhang Xue. Among the handyman disciples... he is the oldest. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask him. I still have some things to report to you, sir, so I'll take the first step."
After An Yuan introduced Zhang Xue to Gu An and others, he walked out of the hospital.
"Senior Brother An, take your time and come back often when you have time!"
As soon as Zhang Xue heard this, he ran directly outside the courtyard gate, bent down at ninety degrees and waved his hands in salute. This set of movements was so smooth that Chen Muzhi and others were amazed.
When An Yuan saw this, he just nodded slightly, obviously no longer surprised by this.
However, the next moment, Gu An and the other five were stunned.
Zhang Xue looked around for a while, and after confirming that An Yuan had gone far, he immediately ran to Gu An, rubbed his hands, and said with a flattering look on his face: "You are Junior Brother Gu, you defeated Xia Jun with one punch yesterday.
It has been firmly engraved in my mind and cannot be dissipated for a long time!
Unexpectedly! I saw you again today!"
Gu An suddenly felt a chill, shivering from head to toe.
"Zhang...Senior Brother Zhang, thank you very much."
"Hey, why are you calling me Senior Brother Zhang! With your talent, you might be able to advance to the Condensing Core Realm soon. When the time comes, I will call you Senior Brother!"
Gu An forcibly calmed down his mood: "We will talk about the future matters later. Doesn't senior brother still want to tell us the rules in the department?"
Zhang Xuewei frowned, rubbed his plump chin, seemed to think about it, and then clapped his hands: "Junior brother is right!
I will tell you the rules of the Evil Suppression Department now..."
After about a quarter of an hour, Zhang Xuecai finished speaking.
The first point about promotion is similar to what Gu An knows.
The second explanation is that there is a points system within the Zhenxie Division. Each county's Zhenxie Division office has task officials dispatched from the Hundred Households of the Zhenxie Division in Dongling County.
It is in charge of the task offices of the evil divisions in each county and town. It uses flying pigeons to deliver messages, and daily updates on tasks related to monsters, strange monsters, or some people who have gone astray within Dongling County.
Tasks are divided into monthly tasks and optional tasks.
From the general flag officer to the handyman disciples, everyone can accept some optional tasks according to their own circumstances to gain points.
And after being promoted to an alternate team member, the mission office will also assign different monthly tasks every month based on each person's different circumstances.
The five small flags under the command of Yang Ling, the evil commander of Ping'an County, and the handyman disciples from Divisions 1 to 5 need to complete daily tasks every day. For example, Division 4 of Dongfang Runhong is to forge iron ore into fine iron and then hand it over to weapons.
Create corresponding weapons everywhere.
However, the handyman disciples will have two days of rest every month, and today is Zhang Xue's rest time.
"These are the iron ore shipped from outside. Every day we calculate the iron ore we will need for tomorrow and then take it to the weapons department."
Zhang Xue pointed to the mountains of iron ore in the courtyard: "Let's go, I'll take you to the weapons department first."
"Ping ping ping pong!"
"Ping ping ping pong!"
"..."
Zhang Xue led Gu An and the others around several corridors and arrived at the weapons department.
Before I even got close, I heard a ping-pong sound coming from inside.
Suddenly, Zhang Xue saw a naked and muscular man standing at the door of the weapons department from a distance, and immediately ran over: "Guanshi Yue!"
The strong man looked at the long sword he had just drawn in his hand and frowned slightly: "Zhang Xue, aren't you having a rest today? Why are you still here?"
"Hehe, isn't this the end of the assessment in this year's office yesterday? We have hired five new handyman disciples from all over the place and brought them over to see the future working environment."
"Oh, that's what happened." The strong man named Yue handed the long knife to Zhang Xue. After Zhang Xue took it happily, he looked at Gu An and the other five: "My name is Yue Feng, and I am currently in charge of the weapons department.
"
"I've met Guanshi Yue."
Gu An and the other five people paid their respects.
Yue Feng nodded: "Let's go, I'll show you the weapons department."
As soon as he entered the door, Gu An felt a wave of hot air hit his face.
