Chapter 177 The second-rank deacon of the Tiangong Department and going home
The next day.
Wearing the straight robes of a disciple of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy, Zhou Ling left Xuanyuan Taoist Academy early in the morning and went to the Tiangong Department of Qingyun Immortal City.
The location of the Tiangong Department of Qingyun Immortal City is not far from Xuanyuan Taoist Temple.
It is a wide courtyard.
This is also the headquarters of Qingyun Immortal City Tiangong Division.
After Zhou Ling entered the courtyard, he was led directly to a main hall by the assistant.
The main hall is gorgeously decorated and simple.
Originally Zhou Ling thought that this time he came to Tiangong Division just to go through the entry procedures.
Unexpectedly, Qin Zhizheng actually summoned him alone.
Following the assistant, he walked along the side corridor to the main hall. The assistant went inside to report and invited him in later.
Zhou Ling entered the palace and came to a side hall. As soon as he entered, he saw Qin Zhi standing there waiting for him with a warm smile on his face.
Zhou Ling bowed his hands and said, "Disciple, I have seen Zhizheng before!"
Zhizheng is a fourth-grade position in Tiangong Division, and generally a minimum of fourth-grade technical master is required to hold it.
Qin Zhizheng smiled and waved his hand, "Sit down and talk!"
Zhou Ling immediately sat aside.
Qin Zhizheng praised his performance in yesterday's assessment again.
Zhou Ling said modestly, "It's a bit of a fluke!"
"These are all earned through your hard work!" Qin Zhizheng smiled and looked at Zhou Ling at such a young age. In the face of achievements, he can still be so neither arrogant nor humble, and I feel even better in my heart.
Immediately said, "I read your information yesterday. You are a casual cultivator and have low-grade spiritual roots. If you want to have better development in the Tiangong Division in the future, your cultivation techniques must follow Just go up.”
"Although you have passed the second-grade Taoist examination this time, you have only crossed the threshold to enter the Tiangong Division and do not have a real position yet."
"So, I will arrange for you to apply for a 'deacon' quota, so that you can obtain certain cultivation resources from Tiangong Division every month, and your cultivation progress will be faster."
Zhou Ling listened quietly.
"It stands to reason that you have just passed the examination, and you are still practicing Qi, and you are not qualified to become a deacon. But I think that although you are not old, you are steady and stable, and you are a promising person."< br>
“So I decided to apply for a deacon quota for you. Of course, in this way, you will also have to complete the tasks of the Tiangong Division.”
"In addition, we must strive to build the foundation as soon as possible."
Qin Zhizheng's words were calm and straightforward, without any official airs. He spoke to Zhou Ling like an elder, following instructions.
Zhou Ling naturally desires this good thing.
You know, in Lingxia Fairy City, a deacon is already an absolute master.
The power held is enough to enter the top ten.
Some people may not reach this step after decades of hard work, or even a lifetime.
And this is it!
Although he was excited in his heart, he still tried his best to remain calm on the surface.
Immediately bowed his hands to Qin Zhizheng and saluted, "Thank you for your promotion, I am deeply grateful!"
Hearing this, Qin Zhizheng smiled slightly, "However, this deacon is not It’s such a great job, there are tasks every month and performance appraisals every quarter.”
"You must be prepared. Once your performance does not meet the standards, you will be eliminated!"
As he said that, he handed a jade slip to Zhou Ling, "This is the situation of the deacon of the Tiangong Department. You See for yourself."
Zhou Ling took the jade slip with both hands and scanned it with his consciousness.
Second-grade deacons are already full-time Taoist officials within the Dao Alliance system.
Be able to receive the second-grade treatment from Tiangong Division.
But now, Zhou Ling can only receive the most basic enshrinement treatment, which is a mid-grade spiritual stone and a bottle of second-grade elixir every month.
If you can complete the corresponding assessment tasks, you will receive contribution points.
With this contribution point, you can exchange it for other items.
You know, when he was in Lingxia Fairy City, his family of three spent almost ten low-grade spiritual stones.
One middle-grade spiritual stone this month is equivalent to a thousand low-grade spiritual stones.
This treatment is already a huge figure for ordinary casual cultivators.
Of course, for foundation-building monks and second-grade technical mages, this kind of treatment is not too much.
However, Zhou Ling was satisfied.
With this identity, the resources obtained in exchange are completely different.
And every time you receive a refining task, you will need at least two or three copies of general materials, and you only need to improve your proficiency.
Generally speaking, you can at least earn a piece of material money.
Just by receiving one or two more tasks a month, you can condense your Five Elements Thunder Body more quickly.
“Do you have any questions?”
Qin Zhizheng asked again.
“No problem!”
Zhou Ling said.
"Okay, then follow the assistant to go through other procedures, practice hard in the future, and strive to build the foundation as soon as possible."
"In the future, the Tiangong Division will have the opportunity for you to show it!"< br>
Deacon Qin nodded.
“Yes, get it right!”
Zhou Ling replied respectfully.
Then he said goodbye and left.
Under the leadership of a young assistant, he soon completed various entry procedures for the Tiangong Department.
The efficiency is quite fast.
Before noon, he returned to Xuanyuan Taoist Temple.
When he came to the training room, he sat cross-legged on the futon and then took out a storage ring from his arms.
This is the item assigned by the second-rank deacon of Tiangong Division.
With a thought, take out the items in the storage ring.
What appeared in front of him was a spiritual robe, two jade slips, a jade seal, a bottle of elixir and four second-level middle-grade swords.
The two jade slips introduce some of the rules and regulations of the Tiangong Division.
There is also the "Second-Level Imprint Encyclopedia".
The jade seal is the status symbol of the deacon of Tiangong Division.
In addition to symbolizing the identity token, the jade seal also seals a wisp of second-grade spiritual flames.
Although it is only a wisp, it can also be of great assistance to the weapon refiner or alchemist.
It can not only assist in refining weapons and elixirs, but also assist in cultivation.
Moreover, this kind of spiritual inflammation is extremely rare in the outside world.
This is also a preferential treatment for becoming a deacon of the Tiangong Division.
The elixir is the Lingyuan Pill taken by Foundation Establishment Pill monks.
As for the four instruments, they were tasks he received.
There is also a small courtyard on Ningyuan Street not far from Tiangong Division.
"Sure enough, the Taoist League is still very popular within the system!"
"Even the house has been allocated!"
"With the house, after the vacation, I will return to Lingxia Fairy City to bring my parents together. Take it back to Qingyun Fairy City."
After counting the things, Zhou Ling was thinking happily.
The aura concentration in the allocated house is already that of a second-level mid-grade spiritual vein, which is enough to support my parents’ cultivation to the point of foundation building.
Afterwards, Zhou Ling took out the jade seal and looked at it carefully.
I saw a ray of golden flame looming inside the jade seal.
[You are observing the second-grade Dao Seal, intermediate observation +1]
[You are analyzing the second-grade Dao Seal, intermediate analysis +1]
“This spirit flame It’s metallic spiritual fire!”
As the information about the two talents emerged, Zhou Ling's face showed a hint of joy.
What is sealed within the jade seal is a wisp of mysterious spiritual flame, which is metallic.
Generally speaking, this kind of sealed spiritual flame has certain growth potential, but it requires monks to continuously consume their own spiritual energy.
It consumes time and energy, and the growth rate is slow.
It is completely incomparable to the two spiritual flames on Zhou Ling's body.
Its grade is equivalent to the fire lotus condensed from the green lotus fire.
But no matter how you put it, it is also a kind of spiritual fire, and it is not easy to obtain.
And it is very difficult for other monks to improve their self-cultivation, but for Zhou Ling, with the talent of [Five Elements Qi-eating Spiritual Flame], he only needs to absorb the five elements of spiritual objects to increase the spiritual flame. It's fast and effective, but of course it consumes more spiritual materials.
As a spiritual power was injected into the jade seal, the red light flashed, and a ball of golden-red light flew out from the jade seal, spinning continuously in Zhou Ling's hand.
Then, with a thought, Zhou Ling pointed the fingers of his left hand towards the flame.
With a soft sound of "Puff", a wave of five-color spiritual flames swept out.
Five-color spiritual flames envelop red flames.
Zhou Ling is preparing to refine this spiritual flame, and then absorb spiritual objects to increase the level of the spiritual flame.
Now that the Five Elements Spiritual Flame has reached the middle stage of the second grade, it is not too difficult to refine this wisp of spiritual flame.
After burning the incense, this wisp of spiritual flame turned into a stream of light and merged into Zhou Ling's body.
A new spiritual flame cycle is formed.
Then, Zhou Ling took out another piece of second-order metallic ore and absorbed it.
[You are absorbing gold concentrate ore, physical sublimation +1, Five Elements Thunder Gang acquired spiritual body, metallicity +1]
[You are absorbing gold concentrate ore, Five Elements Thunder Gang +1 , Yaoyan +1】
"Yaoyan?"
"I hope to grow up as soon as possible!"
Zhou Ling said with a smile on his face.
Although this ray of flame is only a wisp now, as long as it absorbs more fire attribute spiritual objects, it will improve very quickly.
If you can collect the five element attribute spirit flames before building the foundation, the level of the foundation building will be greatly improved.
Then, Zhou Ling's eyes glanced at several swords.
Both of these two swords are thunder-attributed swords, and each can earn one hundred contribution points.
“It should be able to be refined within ten days!”
Zhou Ling was thinking in his mind.
After this month, the New Year is coming, and the Taoist Temple will have a half-month vacation.
And he was also planning to go back to Lingxia Fairy City and take his parents to Qingyun Fairy City.
Then, he began to observe the sword and select the appropriate thunder attribute imprint.
·······.
Time passes quickly.
On December 25th, the Taoist Temple has begun to have a holiday.
Groups of people lined up in Lingzhou Square in Qingyun Immortal City.
In front of a small spiritual boat, Zhou Ling and Wang Xin waved goodbye.
"Brother Ling, remember to give these two bottles of elixir to Aunt Ru!"
Wang Xin warned.
Now that Wang Yu and the others have settled in Qingyun Fairy City, they have no plans to go back at the end of this year.
"Go back! After the New Year, I will take them to Qingyun Fairy City!"
Zhou Ling waved his hand.
Then the monks in the spirit boat checked the jade sign for logging into the spirit boat and then entered the spirit boat.
Wang Xin then went back with some reluctance.
This spirit boat is about twenty feet long and divided into two levels.
The upper floor belongs to the private rooms, and the lower floor contains dozens of futons, which are seats for individual guests.
At this time, there were two or three monks sitting on the first floor.
It takes a day and a night to get from Qingyun Fairy City to Lingxia Fairy City.
Zhou Ling didn't want to waste time, so he bought a ticket to the box so that he could practice or refine swords on the way.
Of course, the price is three times that of Sanzuo, one hundred and fifty spirit stones.
However, this is already within the acceptable range for him.
After paying the spirit stone, a delicate-looking maid guided him into the box numbered ‘Jiajiu’.
"Dear guest, what would you like to drink? There are spiritual tea, spiritual wine and spiritual fruits available on the boat."
The maid looked at Zhou Ling, blinked her smart eyes, and said, said the voice.
“No need!”
"If you need anything, I'll call you!"
Zhou Ling shook his head and said.
The maid then withdrew.
Zhou Ling closed the door and immediately sat cross-legged on the wooden bed.
In the room, the aura concentration was roughly at the second level, which was enough for him.
Then, he took out the second-level jade slip and entered it with his spiritual consciousness to examine it.
He has been very busy in the past four months at Xuanyuan Taoist Academy.
Great progress has been made in majoring in imprinting.
Not only did he become the foundation-building seed of the Taoist Academy, he also passed the second-grade assessment of the Tiangong Division and became a deacon of the Tiangong Division.
Became the most unique genius in Xuanyuan Taoist Academy.
In terms of actual refining, the distance between Liu Yu, Ye Zhilan and him was not only not narrowed, but actually widened.
In addition, the training in the puppet course has also been significantly improved, and now it is possible to try to refine a first-level high-grade puppet.
In terms of beast control and blood talismans, I gained a lot from entering the ancient cloud world.
He is also making rapid progress in these two areas.
Not to mention the spiritual consciousness, the progress can be said to be the fastest.
It can be said to be fully developed.
With his current strength, through [Deduction of Illusion Simulation], he has been able to defeat Li Yan alone.
As for Tiangongsi, in the first month of the mission, he also successfully refined two middle-grade spiritual swords.
Earn two hundred points.
With these points, Zhou Ling can exchange various spiritual objects with Tiangongsi.
Even foundation-building pills and foundation-building auxiliary items.
Like the Zixia spirit liquid that assists in foundation building, this kind of liquid can warm and nourish the meridians and cultivate the spiritual consciousness.
Increase the success rate of foundation building, but it requires 500 contribution points to exchange for it.
There are many good things that can be exchanged for Taoist temple, but because he is still a disciple of the outer courtyard.
So what can be exchanged is limited.
Far inferior to the Tiangong Division.
So Zhou Ling planned that the main direction of attack next year would be Tiangong Division.
And the Tiangong Division is a hard task.
It must be completed.
Zhou Ling also directly replaced the two hundred contribution points obtained this time.
I redeemed a wood-attribute skill called "Qing Yuan Jue".
This is mainly in exchange for her mother. It is a high-grade yellow grade, which is enough to practice to build a foundation.
As for the follow-up exercises, Zhou Ling planned to use the "Muyuan Evergreen Jue" among the five elements exercises he practiced.
After all, the wood-attribute skills tend to be gentle, so it will be easier to switch to cultivation.
It would be too difficult to directly give the "Muyuan Evergreen Jue" to my mother to practice now.
So, we still have to take it step by step.
As for his father, he now has a large amount of physical training resources from the Ancient Cloud Realm, which is enough for his father to reach the second level of physical training.
There are also "Three Yang Jue" or other body-refining techniques. If your father needs it, you can start practicing.
Half an hour later, the spirit boat began to shake slightly.
Zhou Ling immediately opened his eyes, leaned against the window, and looked out the window.
Satin-like white clouds floated in the endless sky.
On the ground, the huge Qingyun Fairy City is getting farther and farther away.
Then, a loud voice spread throughout the spirit boat.
“Dear fellow Taoists, in Xian Shenhe, the deacons of the Chiba Chamber of Commerce are responsible for all matters on this spiritual boat.”
“This route starts from Qingyun Fairy City and ends at Lieyun. Fairy City. During this period, we will pass through five fairy cities including Golden Leaf Fairy City and Huangshi Fairy City.”
