Cultivating the Tao: Beginning with Meditation and Liver Experience

Chapter 97 The particularity of Zhenmensi, Daozhou's choice! (seeking subscription)

The next day.

After the dismissal, the man just returned to the mansion.

Xu Yan saw the housekeeper He Yong holding a stack of documents waiting in his yard.

"This old slave has seen the young master!" He Yong saluted respectfully, holding the document in his arms and said, "My young master, this is what Master Hou asked the old slave to send. It is the relevant information about all the vacancies in the town magic department's thousand households."

"Master Hou asked you to choose a suitable one, and then give him a reply tomorrow morning."

The old housekeeper bowed and conveyed the old man's meaning clearly.

"Uncle Yong doesn't need to be polite!"

Xu Yan took two quick steps and helped the old housekeeper up.

Then he took the document from the old housekeeper's hand, put it on the table beside him, and said with a smile: "Please tell Grandpa when you go back, Uncle Yong, just say that I already know, and I will definitely give him an answer in the morning."

Corporal courtesy, buy people's hearts.

No matter which world or era it is placed in, this routine will never become obsolete.

If it was in the past, Xu Yan naturally didn't need to do this, because he was not familiar with He Yong, the steward of the Hou's Mansion, and even in terms of status, a bastard from a collateral line might not be able to compare with the chief steward of the Hou's Mansion.

But it's different now.

It's not that his status in the Hou's Mansion has improved, but that according to the old man's opinion, he is planning to let He Yong, the Martial Saint-level butler of the Hou's Mansion, follow him in the future.

In other words, He Yong will be his own man from now on, Xu Yan must be courteous and corporal, and buy people's hearts.

As the saying goes: "If you want something from above, your god will be like a relative, and you will not say goodbye under the courtesy, and those who refuse will be helpless!"

Throughout the ages, those who have achieved great things have one characteristic, that is, they are courteous and corporal, and they value talents.

As a leader, if you want to win over your subordinates, you must be kind and treat each other with courtesy. Otherwise, no one will help you, let alone work hard for you.

Xu Yan was not stupid, so he naturally understood this truth.

So he must have completely different attitudes towards his own people and strangers.

"Young master has broken the old slave!"

The old housekeeper was flattered by Xu Yan's closeness.

Of course, if Xu Yan had done this in the past, the old housekeeper would definitely not have such an idea, at most it would be just a few words of politeness.

But it's different now.

As a confidant who has been with the old man for decades, butler He Yong is definitely the person most trusted by the old man.

So the old man didn't hide many things from him, for example: Xu Yan has broken through the realm of Martial Saints, he is about to be transferred to the town of magic division Qianhu, and he wants him to stay by Xu Yan's side in the future, etc.

Naturally, He Yong doesn't need to worry about an ordinary son of a three-generation dude in the Hou family.

But a Wu Sheng Tianjiao who was less than 20 years old, and a feudal official who was less than 20 years old, made him have to be careful.

Xu Yan's courteous and virtuous corporal naturally became the supreme grace, not flattery.

This is the change brought about by identity and strength.

…………

The old housekeeper was sent away.

Xu Yan began to look at the information in his hand.

As the saying goes, if you know the enemy and know yourself, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.

Since he chose to transfer Zhenmagus, he naturally knew about Zhenmagic, and he knew that it would not be easy to parachute into a Daozhou Zhenmagic with thousands of households.

Because under normal circumstances, if Zhenmagic Division Qianhu resigns or is transferred, the Zhenmagic Division headquarters will immediately select people to fill it up, and the position will not be left vacant.

Once a position is vacant, it proves that the previous Zhenmasi Qianhu died abnormally.

The successor needs to complete the revenge task, or wait for the revenge time to pass.

It is even more difficult for Xu Yan, who is not an insider of the Zhenmagic Division and wants to become a thousand households of the Zhenmagic Division. He needs to obey the orders of the Zhenmagic Division headquarters and go to some dangerous states where no one wants to go.

In this regard, Xu Yan did not have any fear.

On the contrary, as he continued to understand Zhenmagus, he wanted to join Zhenmagus more and more.

Because after joining Zhenma Division, there will be a huge benefit, a benefit that all court officials can't wait for.

That is... the staff of the Zhenmagic Department can practice Taoism, take heaven and earth treasures and panacea to improve their cultivation, and set foot on the road of longevity.

This point is definitely incomparable to the officials of the Imperial City Division, Yuqian Division, Habayashi Guard, and even the government offices of the three provinces and six ministries.

But think about it and understand.

After all, the main duty of the Zhenmagic Division is to slay demons and eliminate demons.

If there is no Taoism, supernatural powers, talismans, arrays, elixir and other means to assist.

Not to mention slaying demons and slaying demons, ordinary demon guards may not even be able to see through the disguise of demons, and they can't even find traces of ghosts and ghosts, so how can we talk about slaying demons and slaying demons?
Therefore, the Zhenmagic Division is definitely the most special one among the government offices of the imperial court.

However, everything has advantages and disadvantages.

The particularity of Zhenmagic staff is not obtained out of thin air, but based on abandoning dragon and tiger aura.

Without the suppression of Dragon and Tiger Qi, the staff of the Zhenmagic Department can naturally practice Taoism and practice by taking elixir.

Of course, without the spirit of the dragon and the tiger, the staff of the Zhenmagic Department could not use the spirit of the dragon and the tiger to fight against the enemy, weaken or immunize them with Taoism and spells when they were fighting the four demons.

There is no such thing as enjoying the convenience of Dragon and Tiger Qi without bearing the disadvantages of Dragon and Tiger Qi.

Xu Yan didn't care about the spirit of dragon and tiger.

Because dragon and tiger energy is an external force, it is not reliable, and it may be taken away by a will of the emperor at any time.

He didn't care about panacea or anything.

Panacea and miraculous medicines are all built on the basis of spiritual energy, and the power of spiritual energy seems to have great hidden dangers, making people afraid to use it with confidence.

What Xu Yan really cares about is the various martial arts, martial arts, Taoism and supernatural powers, secret methods of other sects, as well as various demon files and secret files stored in the archives in the Zhenmagic Department.

These are priceless.

Xu Yan flipped through the documents sent by the old man, and seriously considered which Taozhou to work in was more suitable.

"First of all, several islands on the border can be directly ruled out."

"The purpose of being a thousand households of the Zhenmagic Division is to enjoy the benefits of being the Zhenmagic Division by the way, not to really fight with demons."

"In the few Dao continents on the border, there are big monsters, big demons, and strong aliens sneaking in at every turn. All kinds of evil disasters and evil disasters continue. It is not so common for a thousand households of a town magician to die. The strength of a top celestial master is also a gift if you go."

Xu Yan crossed out the five border islands without hesitation.

Among the five vacancies in the Zhenma Division Thousand Households in Daozhou, three can be directly transferred, and two are in the period of revenge.

The only thing in common is that the five Daozhous are all classified as dangerous areas, and all of them have special markings: "Martial Dao Grandmasters, Yinshen Daoist and other Tier [-] monks are not recommended to serve!"

Although the fourth-rank martial arts master and Yinshen Daoist are already qualified to serve as the Thousand Households of the Zhenma Division in Yizhou.

But you have to be clear.

The qualifications here are just the minimum requirements.

It is not to say that all the thousands of households of the magic town in Daozhou are fourth-order monks.

Many Dao Continents, especially middle and high-grade Dao Continents, border Dao Continents, etc., do not have the strength of martial saints or celestial masters, so they can't control the situation at all, and they will give away their heads if they go there.

Xu Yan didn't want to give someone a head, and he didn't want to fight desperately with the monster.

So he can only choose some relatively safe Daozhou in the hinterland of China to serve.

"In Ningzhou, a middle-grade Daozhou, there is a cunning and powerful demon who is good at hiding, and he has killed six thousand households of the town magician in succession?"

"My good fellow, this monster is specifically looking at Zhenmosi Qianhuzai!"

"Terrible, terrible!"

……

"Inferior Daozhou, Haizhou, the revenge mission is a magic dragon at the peak of a martial saint."

"Because he was blocked from entering the sea and transforming the dragon, he killed Qianhu, the previous Haizhou town magician, in anger. Now Jiaolong fled into the East China Sea, and is being hunted down by everyone in the magic town."

"Tsk tsk, a demon dragon that almost succeeded in transforming into a dragon, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as a peak martial sage, it must be half a step into the realm of a human fairy, so let's forget about my small arms and legs."

"give up!"

……

"The low-rank Daozhou, Yunzhou, the revenge mission is for a fifth-level early-stage demon cultivator, who majors in Gu art and scorpion art, have you refined rank five golden silkworm Gu?"

"A magic cultivator at the beginning of the fifth level, I think it can be solved."

"This is temporarily listed as an option."

……

"Inferior Daozhou, Jingzhou, revenge mission, a ghost hiding in the underground ghost city, the peak of the fourth order, good at hiding, and has escaped the tracking of the town demon guards many times..."

"It's not easy, I finally saw a fourth-order revenge mission."

"Must be included in the options!"

Xu Yan couldn't help being moved when he saw Jingzhou's Zhenma Division's mission of revenge for thousands of households.

Not easy.

It's really not easy.

This almost turned over the vacancy of Thousand Households of Zhenma Division, and finally saw a fourth-order revenge mission, and found a soft persimmon.

Let's take a look at the other vacancies in the town of magic division, what are the conditions?
Either the dangerous border Daozhou, or to hunt down the big monsters of the Martial Saint level, and even the magic dragon that almost succeeded in transforming into a dragon appeared.

No wonder there are so many vacancies.

How many martial saints and celestial masters are there in the world of Shenzhou?
It's not enough for Zhenmensi to fill in like this.

Xu Yan sighed inwardly, and continued to read the remaining documents.

"Inferior Dao Continent, You Continent, revenge mission, a golden-armored corpse at the beginning of the fifth rank in Necromancer Abyss, suspected to be a former general, there are thousands of zombies..."

"Inferior Daozhou, Xingzhou, revenge mission, a giant mid-level fifth-order sea monster in the East China Sea, entrenched in the deep sea..."

"Inferior Daozhou, Miaozhou, revenge mission, a demon in the [-] mountains of Miaojiang, the specific strength is unknown, suspected to come from the temple of witches in Miaojiang..."

soon.

Xu Yan then read through the employment status of the remaining three Daozhou Town Magic Division Qianhu.

The result is not very ideal.

Because the tenure of Qianhu in the next three Daozhou town magic divisions is not so easy, either the zombie army, or the giant monster of the deep sea, and the last one is even related to the witch temple in Miaojiang.

The Temple of the Witch God is an overlord force among the [-] mountains in Miaojiang, and it is the first-class force in China.

Although it is far inferior to the Daqian imperial court, it is not weaker in the slightest than the holy land of martial arts in the rivers and lakes.

The most important thing is that, despite the word "God" hanging on this witch temple, it is actually a serious school of magic.

Together with the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Yinyin Sect, and the Palace of Eternal Life, they are known as the Four Demon Sects.

For such a force, Xu Yan naturally avoided it and was unwilling to provoke it.

Xu Yan looked at the information in his hands, flipped through it, and finally found that it seemed that only Yunzhou and Jingzhou's revenge missions were easier to complete.

Of course, this is only the result obtained from the existing information, and the specific situation will not be known until further investigation.

Anyway, Xu Yan didn't think the revenge mission of Yunjing Liangzhou would be as simple as it appeared on the surface.

If it was really that simple, I'm afraid it would have been completed long ago.

How can it be his turn.

Seeing the information on the two continents of Yunjing that was singled out, Xu Yan sighed quietly.

"Forget it, let's tentatively decide on these two, and it won't be too late to make a decision after discussing with the old man tomorrow morning!"
