I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 10 Our Tsing Yi Department is thriving

Pan Daxi patted Cao An on the shoulder with his heavy palm, and said with admiration: "I heard that you made great achievements last night. You are a talent. Are you interested in joining me?"

"Into the golden flag?" Cao An was somewhat moved.

According to Zhu Xian's introduction, at that time, the department was relieved of its military power, and in exchange for the current Qingyi Department, it was not under the jurisdiction of the three provinces and six ministries, but reached the heavens, and its status was very transcendent.

But in the final analysis, a green-clad guard like Cao An is still just a part-time worker. He has no official position and can only be regarded as a white servant.

If you perform well and join one of the Five Flags, you will have prospects for promotion and salary increase.

But before Cao An could say anything, Pan Daxi spoke again: "I have twelve brothers on duty under my command."

"Then I..."

"You! You are the Thirteenth Chasseur of the Golden Scale!"

"..."

Cao An silently took half a step back. He suddenly felt that the golden flag was not suitable for him.

Zhu Xian on the side quickly stepped forward: "Brother Pan, please stop poaching people. Lord Tisi has ordered that crime-solving talents like Cao An should be assigned to the water flag."

The division of labor among the various banners of the Tsing Yi Department is clear. Cao An is new to the area and is still unclear about the differences.

However, among the two flags of gold and earth, one is clueless and the other is unhappy. They are obviously reckless types. I don’t know whether the water flag, which I have never met before, is strong or not.

Zhu Xian seemed to notice Cao An's concerns, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, the water flag is also very powerful. Our Qingyi Department is thriving."

……

After a simple nod, everyone dispersed on the spot.

After working all night to investigate the case, Liang Tisi allowed everyone a day's rest, which was considered to be considerate of his subordinates.

The people in this place are a bit strange, but fortunately the treatment is good. Because there are few people, everyone is assigned to a single room, and there is not as strict management as other offices.

Speaking of rest, Cao An, who stayed up all night, became very energetic after returning to the office.

This is not because he is mentally disturbed, but because he solved a major case and the reward was distributed.

"Congratulations on solving the unclothed robbery case. The rewards for the detective have begun to be distributed."

"I would like to ask, under what criteria are case rewards distributed?"

"The judging criteria are based on the impact of the case, such as the strength of the ghost of the deceased, the luck characteristics of the stolen treasure, etc."

"Congratulations on getting the talent of detective: please leave your last words."

"Effect: If the deceased has been dead for no more than three days, you can listen to the deceased's last words."

……

"Please choose one of the following three additional rewards:"

"1. Night Walk Without Clothes (Ninth Grade Kung Fu): Untie the shackles of the whole body, and you can obtain the extraordinary blessing of light kung fu."

"1000. Spring Boudoir Gift Book (Miscellaneous Things): Literary certificate recognized by the girls. For every 10 taels spent at the Jiaofang Department, taels can be deducted."

"3. Tianyuan Yiqi (Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures)*: The breath containing the spiritual power of heaven and earth, which can restore the essence, enhance the effect of cultivation, and enhance the understanding of cultivation."

……

He has a new talent, which seems to be very powerful. His detective career is gradually on the right track.

As for the three additional rewards, Cao An analyzed that the first two should be randomly selected martial arts or objects from the case, and the third one was a treasure set up by the system.

For example, this "Unclothed Night Kung Fu" is the technique performed by the unclothed thief. It's just that your background chooses to appear once, and the case is solved again and again. You can't get around it, right? Do you really want to see me running naked? And this "Spring Boudoir Rites Book" is actually discounted by 9.99%? Do you think I am the one who missed the 10 taels of silver?

After scanning it, only the third item [Tian Yuan Yi Qi] is the best. The blessing of heaven, material and earth treasures can make his practice twice the result with half the effort.

Unfortunately, Cao An has not practiced martial arts yet, and he has treasures that he cannot use.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s not too late to get started now.

Anyway, after using [Tian Yuan Yi Qi], the energy and spirit can be restored quickly, so just stop sleeping and start practicing martial arts directly!
  After making up his mind, Cao An rushed out of the room and stopped Zhu Xian at the door who was about to go back to his room to rest.

"Brother Zhu, I want to ask you for advice on how to practice."

"Practice?" Zhu Xian looked Cao An up and down strangely: "Aren't you a disciple of Si Tianjian? Have you never learned cultivation?"

"Of course I have, but since I have joined the Tsing Yi Department, I naturally want to learn the techniques in the Department."

Cao An's explanation made Zhu Xian nod in understanding.

There are always some cultivators who like to take advantage of the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought. Si Tianjian's system is very different from that of martial artists and is not exclusive. It is not a problem to practice at the same time.

"But didn't we just come back after staying up all night to investigate the case? Otherwise, let's talk about it after we have had enough rest."

Zhu Xian wanted to go back to his room to sleep, but Cao An insisted on holding him back: "I think Brother Zhu was right before he said that he would die two years early and sleep a lot. From the moment I put the Tsing Yi on my shoulders, I never thought about rest!" Let’s practice!”

"...I feel Brother Cao's thoughts. However, sleeping two more nights is a lot of work. You are at the time when you are growing up at this age, so you should not work so hard."

Zhu Xian is so talkative that he can tell any nonsense.

Fortunately, after some provocation, Zhu Xian temporarily suppressed Cao An's enthusiasm on the grounds that he needed to prepare for the introduction of martial arts.

……

I went back to my room, rested for three hours, and put on clean clothes newly issued by the housekeeper. It was already noon.

The reversed schedule of day and night, and the stiff porcelain mattress and pillows made him feel uncomfortable while sleeping.

After leaving the room, Cao An heard a clanking sound and followed the sound to the edge of the training ground. He saw that his colleagues who had stayed with him all night last night had already begun training vigorously.

I saw the twelve golden scales tearing up iron plates with their hands, and the great monk in earthen clogs hitting his head on a rocky mountain. It was really a cruel training method.

"Cao An, are you envious of us? When you start practicing as a warrior, your body will be as good as ours." Zhu Xian appeared from behind at some point, eating melon seeds while introducing it to Cao An.

There are many systems of cultivation in the world. Putting aside the miscellaneous sects and strange schools, they can be roughly divided into five major schools.

Warriors cultivate the body, Buddhism cultivates the mind, Taoism cultivates the sense of energy, and demon masters cultivate the essence. Each school focuses on different things, and the methods of cultivation are naturally very different.

The realm of strength is divided into nine levels, with the ninth level being the lowest and the first level being the most respected.

It is rumored that there are realms above the first level, and they are regarded as immortals, but so far no one has lived as long as the sky, maybe it is just a rumor.

As for which school is the strongest, of course it is the warrior. Well, at least that is what the warrior Zhu Xian thinks.

"But after you've been talking for a long time, there are only four schools! Where is the last one?" Cao An asked a little strangely.

Zhu Xian looked back, his eyes even weirder: "The last school is naturally your Si Tianjian."

"Cultivation of destiny?"

"No, Xiu Changsheng."

"..."
