Celestial Immortal

Chapter 74
"Chu Chen, you are really good, you killed a ninth-rank corpse king just after entering the rank. My family is far from rich."

In the evening, at the gate of the Ghost and God Department's meeting hall, the deputy governor, Huang Mei, patted Chu Chen's shoulder fiercely, and was quite friendly.

Before, Huang Mei always compared Chu Chen with his nephew in his heart.

In his opinion, his nephew is very good, he is the pride of the family, no worse than any of his peers.

But as time went by, the comparison in his heart became weaker and weaker.

How can this be compared, there is no need to compare at all.

It is very rare in the practice world to internally refine a top-rank divine general just after entering the rank.

He knew many Taoist friends who came from the orthodox Taoist sect, and many of them had high gong skills. In the early stage of their inner training, the highest level of god generals was no more than mid-grade miraculous.

The initial refinement is the top grade of magic, which is definitely a generation of geniuses.

"Deputy Huang doesn't care about praise, luck, luck."

Chu Chen smiled modestly, and entered the meeting hall with Huang Mei.

In the main hall, Daoist Xu Ping, Taoist Qingyun, and Zen Master Liaokong had already arrived and sat down.

There are still two vacant seats in the main hall, and the two sit separately.

In addition, more than a dozen assistant squad leaders from classes A, B, and C also entered the hall one after another.

The deputy head of the same class, Chu Chen, the general leader of the third shift, has a seat, and the other deputy heads don't have such a good treatment, so they can only stand aside and wait for several people to take care of their orders.

After he was promoted from an ordinary patrol envoy of the Department of Ghosts and Gods to "Assistant Metropolitan Administration", Chu Chen's duties changed.

In the past, after handing in errands and no new errands, he could wait for the "sanya" to get off work.

Right now Chu Chen needs to participate in various affairs of the Department of Ghosts and Gods.

Basically, all the ghosts and gods in the county are linked to him.

When Chu Chen entered the conference hall, everyone's eyes fell on him.

With the hard work of the two Wu family brothers, the entire Department of Ghosts and Gods heard that Chu Chen beheaded and killed the ninth-rank Feitian Yasha.

This time, everyone's eyes on Chu Chen changed, and their eyes were extremely complicated.

In the past, the deputy heads of Classes A, B, C, and Class Three secretly slandered each other, making a lot of bitter and weird remarks, and few of them thought highly of Chu Chen.

After beheading Feitian Yasha this time, they couldn't look down on Chu Chen anymore.

Strength means everything.

With the same level of nine-rank Taoism and cultivation, who can look down on whom?What's more, they are so young that they cannot compare.

But, none of the deputy team leaders was really convinced.

On the contrary, the stronger and better Chu Chen was, the more uncomfortable they felt.

There are only three chances to be promoted to Xianli in the entire Xin'an County, and the three deputies are all in charge of promotion or transfer, so they have the chance to win through the competition.

Chu Chen jumped into the line from the sky and took the fifth position. According to the usual practice, if any deputy governor was transferred, he could immediately take over as the team leader, and he would be promoted to the deputy governor.

This unintentionally blocked the promotion roads of all the deputy team leaders, and no one would look at Chu Chen pleasingly.

Chu Chen was aware of these twists and turns, and didn't take into account the faint rejection of the deputy team leaders.

People in the Taoist sect most pay attention to the one "non-dispute".

The so-called "non-dispute" does not mean that there is no determination to win or lose, and that the Buddha is lying flat and like a salted fish.

The so-called "non-competition" refers to not competing with the outside world, but competing with oneself.

Chu Chen is well versed in the way of "not fighting", all he wants is to improve himself.

As for the defeat of outsiders, it has nothing to do with him, it's just the general trend.

Under the watchful eyes of all the deputy squad leaders, Chu Chen sat down calmly, without any dust in his heart.

Seeing this performance, Taoist Qingyun and Zen Master Liaokong nodded repeatedly, secretly praising their good intentions.

"Chu Chen, why have you been working on this case all day?"

Daoist Xu Ping had a serious face and a stern tone.

"I don't care about the report. Feitian Yasha was killed in the morning, but I think that the mine is a natural place to raise corpses. I was worried that there would be fish that slipped through the net, so I searched extensively to nip the danger in the bud." Chu Chen answered honestly. .

Xu Ping nodded slightly, and commented lightly: "It is a good thing to be cautious, but it is too late. With your strength, half a day is enough for this case. Be careful next time, and you must handle the case quickly and steadily."

"Yes!" Chu Chen listened to the training obediently.

The master is criticizing on the surface, but in fact, he is building up momentum for him in front of everyone and raising him up, which is well-intentioned.

Then, the matter of Chu Chen was overturned, and everyone began to discuss other cases.

The completed cases are just a cutscene, and the focus of the discussion is on the unsolved cases and emergencies.

Chu Chen was not interested in getting involved in the case of Classes A, B, and C. He just listened but didn't speak, and didn't express any opinions. Time passed quickly.

In the end, Master Xu Pingdao announced an unexpected case with a serious face.

According to the notice from the Qingzhou Ghost and God Department, a few days ago, the Immortal Court took action to exterminate the Qianyin Demon Sect of the Demon Sect, and won a complete victory. Countless high-ranking officials of the Demon Sect were killed.

It is said that a group of Demon Cultivators from the Thousand Yin Demon Sect entered Qingzhou and secretly hid in various places.

The Department of Ghosts and Gods of Qingzhou and the Department of Ghosts and Gods of Guangping County issued notices to all counties, asking all places to be vigilant against the invasion of evil cultivators and demon cultivators, and to do their best to protect the environment and the people.

Neither Chu Chen nor the other deputy squad leaders took it too seriously when they heard the announcement.

The higher-ups didn't give any clues about the remnants of the Demon Sect, and it was useless for them to know the news in advance.

They can only passively wait for the remnants of the Demon Sect to commit crimes, so that they can follow the vines and catch one or two.

Under normal circumstances, the remnants of the Demon Sect who fled in a hurry did not dare to cause trouble, and often kept a low profile, waiting for the limelight to pass.

After a while, everyone dispersed.

Daoist Xu Ping and Chu Chen were not on duty tonight, so it was quite rare to go home together.

On the way, Daoist Xu Ping had a calm face, but his heart was very uneasy, and asked:
"Apprentice, you have mastered [Spit into a River], and you have frozen Flying Yasha with a big mouthful of water?"

My family knew about my own family affairs, and Daoist Xu Ping valued his apprentice's accomplishments in spells [and spit as a river] more than the top-rank magical generals and ninth-rank tiger monsters.

There are quite a few people from the Lingshan sect who have acquired the spell [Spitting into a River], but most of them are barely able to master it, spewing out a torrent of water.

Some people have a deeper grasp at best, and the torrent of water that spews out is endless.

However, this level can only be regarded as the initial acquisition of spells, the power is very average, it is nothing, and it has not exerted the power of the master's magical powers at all.

Daoist Xu Ping was surprised at this point. Not only did his disciples learn this method without anyone noticing it, but his attainments were quite high.

"Well, I practiced this spell very smoothly. I just found some water to practice it, but I didn't expect to succeed in it all at once."

Chu Chen looked calm. It is good to have a "genius" set up. Any problem can be applied to the talent, and it will never work.

After all, there are many examples of Taoist high-ranking people who have great fortune by chance, and each one is more exaggerated than the other. Chu Chen's is nothing at all.

Sure enough, Taoist Xu Ping did not doubt Chu Chen's talent for practicing this spell, but asked:
"Where did you comprehend the magical powers frozen in the great water?"

Chu Chen maintained the "genius" personality, and said in a flat tone:
"Master, I learned a little about the transformation of yin and yang when I practiced [Hunyuan Refining Form], but at that time my mana was limited and I couldn't use it."

"After enlightening Xin Yuanjun to become a Yuanling, I will naturally master the freezing of great water. In addition, if I use the energy of the sun to motivate me, I can burn lakes and boil rivers."

After finishing speaking, in order to strengthen the "genius" personality, Chu Chen asked in Versailles style:

"Master, our master's training methods and spells complement each other, and the master's brothers must be the same as me, so they will naturally master it?"

Daoist Xu Ping blushed when he heard this.

He only comprehended this skill when he was promoted to the eighth rank Taoism. For this reason, he was proud for a long time, thinking that he had a good talent.

结果
Daoist Xu Ping didn't want to talk anymore.

At this time, a certain little clever ghost got out of the bookcase behind Chu Chen, lay on his shoulder, and said weakly:
"Senior brother, master doesn't seem to be..."

Before the little ghost could finish his sentence, a big hand grabbed his neck and hung him in the air.

"Little ghost, today you made a wrong omen and almost made a mistake. If you don't come out, the old man will forget about it."

The little devil hangs in the air, with a look of grievance and confusion:

"Master, my omen is right this time, don't blame the little brat, I said that going in that direction will be auspicious and everything will go well, but you just didn't believe me, and it turned out to be a circle in vain."

Daoist Xu Ping snorted coldly:
"Your good omens have always failed. It is right to choose the direction that you did not report good omens. This time it failed. Do you think your omens are wrong?"

Little devil: "(°ー°〃)"
