"I am Shen Luo, a cultivator from the Spring Flower County's Spring and Autumn Temple." Shen Luo returned the greeting and introduced himself.
"Immortal Master's righteousness is admirable. I am He Wenzheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War. " The person in the middle seemed to have never heard of the Spring and Autumn Temple. He hesitated for a moment before respectfully replying.
"Greetings, Master He …" Shen Luo heard him and greeted him.
"I dare not call you Master. May I ask what is Immortal Master's cultivation?" He Wenzheng hurriedly waved his hand and asked.
"Early Soul Condensation Stage." Shen Luo replied.
He Wenzheng's eyes flashed with a touch of surprise when he heard this.
Then, he said, "This time, our cultivators will be deployed according to the military system. Since Immortal Master Shen is a Soul Condensation Stage cultivator, you can directly be promoted to a squad leader and lead ten cultivators below the Fasting Stage."
"Squad leader? There is such a division? "Shen Luo was somewhat surprised.
"Immortal Master may not know, but five people will form a squad and a Fasting Stage cultivator will be the squad leader. Two squads will form a squad and a Soul Condensation Stage cultivator will be the squad leader. Three squads will form a standard and an Out-of-Body Stage cultivator will be the standard leader. The higher level will command the lower level. "He Wenzheng explained.
"I see. Then I will have to trouble Master He." Shen Luo nodded and said.
While speaking, He Wenzheng sat down and skillfully took out a blank scroll. While asking Shen Luo about various situations, he picked up a brush and began to write on it.
There was a lot of content recorded in it, including one's birthplace, cultivation experience, and even information about cultivation methods.
Shen Luo heard this and slightly frowned. He faintly felt a little disgusted.
"Immortal Master, please don't misunderstand. The danger of this recruitment mission is unpredictable. The reason why this is recorded is to deal with some unexpected situations and to prevent the imperial court from not being able to send the compensation." He Wenzheng noticed that Shen Luo was a little impatient and quickly explained.
Shen Luo heard this and understood a little, but he still couldn't help but ask,
"Why do I have to register my cultivation method?"
"There is no need to go into detail about that. Just give us a brief description of the cultivation technique's attributes and what you are good at. That is only for reference when assigning teams so that cultivators with compatible attributes can form a team," He Wenzheng hastily replied.
Hearing this, Shen Luo nodded and agreed with this explanation.
He Wenzheng secretly wiped away his cold sweat. Seeing that Shen Luo was a reasonable person, he felt slightly relieved.
"Immortal Master Shen, in order to unify the deployment, all the recruited cultivators have to temporarily stay in one of the courtyards of the government. Let me show you the map. Currently, there are still more than half of the houses in the Elegant Garden that are empty. You can choose whichever one you like," he continued.
"I'll have to trouble Your Excellency to help me find a more secluded residence," Shen Luo said.
"Alright, please wait a moment."
After saying that, He Wenzheng looked around and pointed out several secluded places on the map for Shen Luo to choose from.
Shen Luo chose an independent two-story building in the southwest corner. He took the key, registered it, and prepared to leave.
"Don't worry, Immortal Master. This is your waist token. In the future, your achievements in killing demons and carrying out missions will all be recorded on this token. With this token, you can receive the corresponding rewards." He Wenzheng hurriedly stopped him, took out a palm-sized token from the drawer, and handed it over.
Shen Luo took a look at it and found that it was similar to Lu Huaming's waist token, but it was different. It was inlaid with a dark green crystal and engraved with the word "Lin".
"How can this little token record merits?" Shen Luo asked.
"After the Immortal Master kills the ghost, you only need to leave a strand of Yin Qi on this token to record one merit point. The more Qi you leave behind, the more merit points you'll record, and the more rewards you'll be able to exchange for later on. However, this is just a trivial merit point. Most of the merit points are obtained by performing tasks. This is calculated on a team basis. Usually, the corporals and sergeants will get 20% more than the ordinary members. "He Wenzheng said.
"What are the specific rewards?" Shen Luo asked again.
"Under normal circumstances, merit points can be exchanged for immortal jades. However, if the Immortal Master has any special requirements, such as changing land for the family, you can also do it. In addition, the Tang Empire's treasury will also take out some precious spiritual materials and magic weapons as rewards, but the required merit points are higher. As for the specific situation, you will know when you go to the exchange office. "He Wenzheng said.
Shen Luo nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Then, where can I accept this task?"
"This time, the recruitment is based on the military rules. You don't have to accept the task. It is directly assigned by the Military Center according to the difficulty of the task. When the task is carried out, the Immortal Master's token will respond. You just need to gather here. Under normal circumstances, if there are no special circumstances, the Immortal Master can't refuse the summons. "He Wenzheng explained.
"I see. I understand." Shen Luo nodded and left.
He tied the token around his waist and left. According to the instructions on the map, he went directly to the Elegant Garden.
Along the way, when the guards saw the token around his waist, no one stopped him. Instead, they saluted him.
The Elegant Garden was located in the southwest of the Tang Empire. Shen Luo quickly followed a stream in the garden to the southwest corner and found his small building.
The small building was located in a remote area. There were no courtyard walls around it. It was just a small wooden building.
Shen Luo pushed the door and found that the inside had been cleaned. There was a three-legged incense burner on the table. Although it was not lit, there was still a faint fragrance of agarwood in the room.
Shen Luo felt a little tired. He looked at the furnishings in the room. After setting up the array on the first floor, he went directly to the second floor.
The second floor was a quiet room. Except for a table in front of the window, there was only a soft couch against the wall. There was nothing else.
Shen Luo came to the couch and sat down. He began to meditate and adjust his breath.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes. His essence, Qi, and spirit were finally restored.
Shen Luo waved his hand and a porcelain bottle appeared in front of him. Inside was the Milk Elixir for healing. He planned to try the Mysterious Yin Meridian Opening Method again.
This time, it was no longer the collateral meridians. He was trying to open the Large Intestine Meridian of the Hand Yangming Meridian of the Twelve Standard Meridians.
Compared with the collateral meridians, the Twelve Standard Meridians flowed to more acupoints. The meridians were longer and more important to the human body. The potential risk was naturally greater.
However, with so much experience in the dream and the previous success, Shen Luo had a lot of confidence.
He raised his hand and patted the Qiankun bag on his waist. Ghost General's figure faintly floated out again. The black light on his body condensed and his aura was more stable. It seemed that he was stronger than before.
"Looking at your appearance, it seems that your power has improved." Shen Luo's spirit sense swept over Ghost General and asked.
"Reporting to Master, I don't know why, but when I replenish my Baleful Yin Qi after you sucked it dry last time, the speed at which I replenish it is much faster than before. Moreover, after these changes, I found that my Yin Ghost Physique seems to have become more stable." The Ghost General immediately cupped his fists and spoke with unconcealed joy.
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Shen Luo also felt a little surprised and said.
"It's true! Master … I don't know when you will practice yesterday's method again? "Ghost General carefully asked.
