The Protectorate General's office.
At the door.
Chung Shen-soo followed Feng Xi 'er and walked out slowly, suddenly feeling a sense of relief.
"After all, my highest combat ability is only that of a vengeful spirit … and in the Second Empire, there are many sword immortals and even Primal Core masters …"
He warned himself not to get carried away.
"Su Daozhi."
Feng Xi 'er said to Chung Shen-soo, "The Protectorate General has approved your removal papers. From today onwards, you are no longer a convict."
"Thank you, Lieutenant." Chung Shen-soo hurriedly bowed in gratitude.
Of course, he knew how miserable it was for convicts. They were discriminated against everywhere, and there was a ceiling everywhere. The highest they could be was a low-ranking official, and it was impossible for them to become a high-ranking official.
"It's a pity that the ceiling is gone, but the hidden ones are still there … It's still as difficult as reaching the heavens to obtain cultivation techniques from the officials …"
Chung Shen-soo sighed to himself as he listened to Feng Xi 'er continue, "But … your position as captain of the black armored cavalry is gone … but it doesn't matter, I have already recommended you as the Deputy Ninth-rank Demon-Slaying Envoy, and you will still be under my jurisdiction. The appointment documents will be issued soon, and with this status, you will be able to learn martial arts from the government without any hindrance. "
"Thank you, Sir."
Chung Shen-soo's face was full of joy, without a trace of gloom.
Of course, he knew that the captain of the black armored cavalry was a trusted aide, and that Feng Xi 'er had just been comforting him.
As a superior, it was instinct to burn bridges after crossing the river.
Now, there was a Minor Ninth-rank official position to make up for it, and that was probably because Feng Xi 'er was still young and not thick-skinned enough.
"Very good."
Seeing Su Daozhi's attitude, Feng Xi 'er felt much better. She raised her hand and tossed out a key. "I have a small courtyard in Tianshuijing Alley, I'll give it to you as well."
"What a tycoon."
Chung Shen-soo thought to himself, "Although it's just a house in a remote area, it's still in the city. This girl's family must be rich."
…
Sweetwater Alley.
Zhong Shenxiu opened the courtyard door and saw a courtyard that wasn't too large. There was a well and a plum blossom tree.
"Congratulations on your promotion and riches, my lord."
Huang Xie followed behind him and congratulated him with a smile. He took the initiative to look for a broom or something to clean up.
"Let Husky do this kind of hard work."
Chung Shen-soo thought for a while, took out a few White Emperor coins, and handed them to Huang Xie. "Go buy some wine and meat, and give some to the neighbors. After all, we're new here, and we need someone to take care of us."
"Alright, Sir is indeed an appropriate person."
Ever since he knew that Chung Shen-soo was going to be an official, Huang Xie's attitude towards him became even more respectful.
Chung Shen-soo knew that Su Daozhi's friend would never come back, and he felt a little emotional.
He looked around the house. There were many rooms here. In addition to the master bedroom, study, and hall, there were guest rooms, kitchen, stables, and even side rooms for the servants.
Chung Shen-soo naturally chose the largest master bedroom, and no one competed with him for it.
In the evening, the man and the two dogs had a feast with the wine and meat they had bought. The two dogs were still busy, and no one knew what they were doing.
Chung Shen-soo, on the other hand, began to practice.
"The Spirit Turtle's Breath Technique has reached its peak. There's no progress at all …"
"It's the same for the Herdsman profession. I forced the profession, and there's no beginning or end …"
"It seems that no matter how much I practice, it's futile. I have to get a new Taoist method. I hope the official martial arts can give me some surprises. "
He then thought of the two dogs.
With his current status, teaching the Qi Refinement Technique to his soldiers was not a big deal.
However, Chung Shen-soo wanted to play it safe. If he taught them the Xiantian Qigong, no one would say anything. It was also a chance for them to make a name for themselves.
…
Chung Shen-soo wandered around Fufeng City for a few days, and he finally got his official release document and appointment.
He put the document away. The Demon-Slaying Deputy Envoy was a little interesting.
He was a Taoist official!
In the Second Empire, apart from civil and military officials, there was another class called Taoist officials. They were specially appointed to the cultivators who worked for the empire. They were also called Immortal Officials among the people.
Among them, the biggest threshold was cultivation.
Those who were above the Xiantian Realm could be the Demon-Slaying Deputy Envoy and the Demon-Slaying Deputy Envoy. The highest one could be the Demon-Slaying Deputy Envoy, and after three years, they could be promoted to the Demon-Slaying Deputy Envoy!
Cultivators in the Gang Fiend stage were considered to have truly entered the path of cultivation. As long as they were willing to work for the empire, they would be given the position of Demon-Slaying Deputy Envoy. After three years, they would immediately be promoted to Demon-Slaying Envoy!
Masters with the Divine Powers would be Demon-Slaying Deputy Envoy from Level Six, and the highest they could go was Level Five Imperial Physician!
As for Primal Core Grandmasters? They were already rare powerhouses in the immortal world, and they were at least Level Four Spirit Officials with five talismans!
Above Level Four Spirit Officials, there were the positions of Heavenly Master, State Preceptor, and so on. However, outsiders might not know the specific level of cultivation required.
"These Taoist officials are usually idle, and they can even get a free stipend. They are the highest class, surpassing civil and military officials. But there's no other way … after all, this is a world where power belongs to oneself. If not for the terrifying power that the imperial family of the Second Empire has, they wouldn't have been able to become emperors."
Chung Shen-soo changed into the official robes of the Demon-Slaying Envoy. This was similar to a Taoist robe, but it was more fresh and elegant. Coupled with an ivory waist tag, Huang Xie and Loopy Clam's eyes lit up and they cheered loudly.
Chung Shen-soo could not be bothered with these two fools.
Ever since he expressed his desire to impart a set of Qi Refinement techniques that he had unintentionally obtained to these two, he had instantly gained two loyal lackeys.
But it was a little boring to be flattered like this every day.
"You two look after the house. I'm going to take a look at the official martial arts school."
He instructed the two of them and walked out of the courtyard by himself.
Chung Shen-soo had been looking forward to this trip for a long time.
There were many officials in Fufeng City, and they were not surprised by a Demon-Slaying Deputy Envoy. At most, they were surprised that Chung Shen-soo was young and handsome.
His journey was uneventful, and he did not encounter any exciting scenes. Then, he arrived at the official martial arts school.
This place could be seen as a huge martial arts school. When some generals were promoted to a certain key position, they would come here to learn military books and martial arts.
Through this martial arts school, the Second Empire had a firm grasp on the military's power.
After all, when a military official was promoted, he could take this opportunity to be transferred away from his original post, completely dissolving the influence.
Apart from that, it was also an excuse to be isolated for investigation. As for whether to go there to learn and improve, or directly learn and go to jail, that would depend on one's luck.
Chung Shen-soo showed his waist tag and entered the martial arts school. He did not go to the drill ground to watch the officers and soldiers, but went directly to the place where the secret manuals were kept.
This place was similar to a large library, surrounded by water tanks, and guarded by people.
He walked in and saw the vast space inside. Rows of bookshelves were filled with military books and martial arts.
In the outside world, the true incantations that ordinary martial artists could not obtain could be found everywhere here.
The surroundings were quiet, and only the occasional rustling sound of a few martial artists reading books could be heard.
Chung Shen-soo smiled and went straight to the second floor.
In the second floor, the martial arts level was a level higher, reaching the Innate Level. Everything like the Ten Directions Beast Tactics was there.
As for the cultivation method? There was no need to daydream.
