Celestial Immortal

Chapter 696 Rich rewards, amazing news

"Senior brother, why is the master a little wandering, has something happened?"

"It's okay, Master saw that I was honored by the Immortal Court, he was overjoyed and immersed in the surprise, so he was absent-minded."

"Oh~ It turns out that the master is similar to me, and my mind is full of spiritual fragrance now."

"Hahaha~ That's right."

Chu Chen chatted with the little ghost boy.

He had guessed a thing or two about Master Xu Ping's thoughts, but he didn't have the time to think about it.

There is no other reason, the senior layman Qingzhu announced the fairy court award on behalf of Mr. Tianshi Mingjing.

Be on the third list, reward fifty tributes and one hundred thousand jade coins;

Be on the second list, the leader of a state, reward fifty tributes and one hundred thousand jade coins;
On the first list, eight states won the first prize, rewarded with hundreds of tributes and [-] jade coins;
It doesn't look like much, but it's not.

These rewards are not given to the treasuries of the counties, but to the head of the mountain.

In this way, the reward is quite generous.

As soon as the award was announced, cheers erupted in the hall, and the mountain chiefs who received the award held their heads high and their chests high, overjoyed.

One hundred thousand jade coins is not a small amount for a fifth-rank powerhouse, let alone fifty tributes.

Chu Chen was also overjoyed.

The rewards of Xianting can be superimposed. He has been listed three times in a row, that is to say, he can receive three rewards, which add up to two hundred tributes and 30 jade coins.

Chu Chen is not short of jade coins, 30 jade coins are dispensable to him, but the tribute is a good thing, the more the better.

Before that, Chu Chen had already saved two hundred tributes, and when he got another two hundred, the tributes in his hand reached four hundred.

This is quite a fortune.

Many veteran fifth-rank powerhouses who have been in the fifth-rank practice for a decade or two may not necessarily be able to accumulate so many tributes.

Of course, Xianting's rewards don't stop there.

The merit of enlightenment will have "Golden Light of Merit and Virtue" descending.

Previously, Zhu Tianjun, who held disbelief in the palm of his hand, was voluntarily descended, not the Dachang Dynasty's initiative to fast and sacrifice.

After the three-year term expires, Dachang Immortal Court will report the merits of teaching and enlightenment of the county Taoist academies in various places, and pray to the heavens.

After some fasting rituals, the envoys of the immortal court burned the flying badges, and the results of preaching and enlightenment of the Taoist temples in each county were also announced.

At first, the county chiefs who failed to make it to the Xianting Commendation List were a little unconvinced, but after the release of the Feizhang Worship Form recording the achievements of the Taoist preaching, all of them fell silent.

The middle level of the Bazhou Taoist Academy is to train about [-] disciples of the ninth rank and a few disciples of the eighth rank.

The Taoist monasteries that can be listed generally have more than four hundred disciples of the ninth rank, and more than ten disciples of the eighth rank.

The leader of the eight states has cultivated more than five hundred disciples of the ninth rank, and as many as twenty or thirty disciples of the eighth rank.

The gap is huge.

The starting resources of each avenue are similar, and after three years, the gap has widened, which is largely a reflection of the level of evangelism and teaching skills of the mountain masters in various places.

Among them, the most dazzling one is Yunzhou Wanquan Taoist Temple. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is unique and stands out from the crowd.

Ever since Chu Chen preached the scriptures and became famous in the eight states in the southwest, and attracted the gods to rule the world and disbelieve the Dharma, Zhu Tianjun sent down the golden light of eight merits and virtues according to the decree of the Supreme Dharma, no one questioned Chu Chen's ability anymore.

However, when everyone saw the results of Yunzhou Wanquan Taoist Academy announced at the Shanda Conference, they couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

During the three years of Wanquan Daoyuan, 700 disciples of the ninth grade of Taoism and 48 disciples of the eighth grade of Taoism were trained
Moreover, Wanquan Daoist Academy has a thousand disciples, and most of them are recruited for the second time in the middle of their term of office. Ninety-nine out of ten of the first batch of disciples recruited are admitted, and they have achieved success in cultivation.

This result is basically more than twice that of ordinary middle-level county Taoist schools. It is no longer simply outstanding, but overwhelming.

For a while, Chu Chen became the focus of the mountain elder meeting, attracting everyone's attention.

It's a pity that Zhu Tianjun took the initiative to show his holiness this time because he didn't believe in the Dharma, and the "Golden Light of Merit" failed to descend on the spot after the mountain master meeting ended.

According to the usual practice, the "rewards" from the Heavenly Court of the Upper Realm will be postponed for two days.

At that time, the Dachang Fairy Court will arrange accordingly. The head of the Daoist Temple with poor performance in preaching will be dismissed and transferred away. Rewards will be distributed together.

After the altar meeting ended, Chu Chen left the hall together with his master Xu Ping and Han Chen.

However, not long after leaving, an envoy from Immortal Court rushed over and stopped Chu Chen.

"Master Chu, the Celestial Master is here to invite you."

When Chu Chen heard Mr. Mingjing's invitation, his eyes lit up.

If it weren't for this episode, he would have almost forgotten that Mr. Mingjing had agreed to it at the beginning. If his Wanquan Daoyuan can be ranked in the middle and upper level of Daoyuan in Bazhou County in Southwest China, he will be rewarded heavily.

Right now, he has exceeded his goal.

Needless to say, Chu Chen immediately followed the Xianting envoy happily, leaving behind Han Chen and Xu Ping with envious faces.

Han Chen said enviously:

"Fellow Daoist Yunshui, I heard that when Ling Xiao became the head of the County Dao Academy, it was decided by the Celestial Master. Now that he has achieved such a great achievement, the Celestial Master has a bright face. This kid Ling Xiao is lucky."

Daoist Xu Ping smiled: "His luck has always been good, but ordinary people can't grasp this opportunity."

"It is!"

"Disciple Wanquan Daoist Mountain Master, Wanquan Supervisor Chu Chen, pay homage to Mr.

In a side hall of Yunzhou Daoyuan, Mr. Ming Jing sat on the main seat, looking at Chu Chen who was saluting below, with a smile on his face:

"Ling Xiao, you have done a good job in the past three years. When I let you become the upper class in the Bazhou Taoist Academy, I thought it was to sharpen you. I never expected that I underestimated you. You did it without saying a word and won the championship in Bazhou."

Mr. Mingjing rarely relaxes and is in a good mood.

Back then, he fought against all opinions and promoted the young Chu Chen, who had just entered the fifth rank, to be the head of the County Daoist Academy. Although no one under his command dared to speak out, he knew very well that there must be someone who would slander his decision .

Now, the doubts and slanders at the beginning have vanished, and it is still set off to set off his unique insight, appreciating talents, and being wise and powerful.

Seeing that Mr. Ming Jing was in a good mood, Chu Chen was delighted, but he quickly said modestly:
"Mr. is absurd. The disciple is doing his best, but he is just doing his duty."

"What a good one to do his duty! If everyone is as talented as you, I will be relieved."

Mr. Ming Jing shook his head. After accepting the position of Celestial Master in the Immortal Court these years and taking charge of half of the Dachang Dynasty, troubles followed one after another, and there were not many surprises.

"Ling Xiao, I promised you back then that as long as you do a good job, you will be rewarded a lot. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

When Chu Chen heard this, he felt a little troubled.

Right now, he is rich, and he doesn't like ordinary treasures. He has heart temples such as martial arts and supernatural powers, and he has no special needs. However, it is difficult for him to talk about the treasures that he really likes.

After all, it is inappropriate for a celestial master to ask for a reward in person, whether it is light or heavy.

"Sir, whatever you reward, the disciple wants."

"You are really slippery."

Mr. Ming Jing shook his head, and said generously, "Don't worry about anything, just ask what you want."

As soon as Chu Chen heard this, he immediately wanted to ask for the magic weapon and martial arts weapon that only a monk with great supernatural powers could use.

However, in the end he held back and didn't push his nose to his face.

"Sir, this disciple comes from the lineage of Guigu, and is good at [Scattering Beans into Soldiers] and other military supernatural powers. Look, why don't you reward disciple with some thousand-year-old spiritual beans."

Speaking of which, the Millennium Spirit Bean is the treasure that Chu Chen needs most right now.

Before he knew it, he was already at the late stage of the fifth rank, and he was getting closer and closer to the realm of great supernatural powers. Once he breaks through in the future, he will be able to refine his troops into thousand-year-old bean soldiers, and the strength of his troops will undergo a qualitative change.

The most important thing is that Mr. Ming Jing has the final say on the number of millennium spirit beans bestowed, and he will not appear obtrusive when he asks for this treasure, and he will be very careful.

Mr. Mingjing nodded when he heard the words. Now he thought of Chu Chen's record of setting up eight formations and stopping eight monsters of the same level with one enemy.

"Why not, reward."

Mr. Mingjing was quite generous, and he agreed.

"Ling Xiao, speaking of which, how is the Mutual Aid Club of your dog monster friend Lao Liu doing?"

Mr. Ming Jing asked with great interest.

"Sir, it's done well. Many demon cultivators who yearn for the immortal way worshiped under the door and devoted themselves to cultivating."

"That's right, you and the sixth dog demon can handle it well."

"Yes!"

Speaking of the sixth child, Chu Chen quickly thought of the "Red Dragon Devil" and the extraterrestrial demon.

In the past two years, there has been a lot of activity from the demons outside the territory. The cultivators from all over the country have been harassed by the demons. The current situation is getting worse. This is why Mr. Ming Jing asked Chu Chen to focus on the Supervision Department.

Although Chu Chen didn't plan to tell the secret of his imprisonment of the Chilong Demon, he had a peek into the deep memory of the Chilong Demon, and he knew a lot of secrets from the extraterrestrial world of demons.

He immediately selected important information and reported it to Mr. Ming Jing.

"Sir, as far as my disciples know, the Southwest demon country has linked up with the extraterritorial celestial demon forces [Luo Guixiang], paved the way for them, and opened up a barrier channel. The situation may become more serious in the future."

"Where did you get the news from?"

Mr. Ming Jing looked quite surprised.

[Luo Guixiang] Of course he knows, and he also knows that the demon kingdom is in collusion with him.

However, he did not know the news that the kingdom of demons colluded with the extraterritorial celestial demon force [Luo Guixiang], paved the way for the extraterritorial celestial demons, and opened up barrier passages.

Because this move is to lure wolves into the house, it is certainly not good for the Dachang Dynasty, but the demons and demon monks in their demon kingdom are not much better. It is a trick that kills one thousand enemies and damages oneself eight hundred.

The Dachang Heavenly Dynasty never expected that the Nanman Alliance would be so crazy.

The extraterritorial demons are fateful enemies to the creatures in this world.

To lead the demons into this world and "lead the way" for the demons outside the territory is to kill yourself, and if you are not careful, you will play with fire and set yourself on fire.

The Southern Barbarian League is simply insane.

Before, Mr. Ming Jing thought that the demon country was just a small fight, but he never expected that the southwest demon country would actually "lead wolves into the house".

"Sir, a few days ago, the sixth son broke through the cultivation of the fifth-grade Taoism, and the disciple went to protect him. It happened that the strong man of the heavenly demon took revenge on him. We joined forces to kill the demon and learned from the mouth of the heavenly demon."

Chu Chen immediately explained, every sentence was true, but he didn't tell the whole truth.

Mr. Ming Jing was shocked when he heard this.

Prior to this, it was only the demons with great supernatural powers from outside the territory who attacked, and the scale was not too large. After all, the price of the heavenly demons from outside the territory descending to the world was not small, and it was impossible to attack frequently.

And if the kingdom of demons "paves the way and builds bridges" for the celestial demons outside the territory, responds from inside and outside, and opens up barriers to the world, that's another matter.

The price of extraterrestrial demons descending to the human world will be greatly reduced. At that time, not only monks with great supernatural powers will encounter extraterritorial demons, but monks of fifth and sixth ranks, and even lower-level monks will also frequently encounter demons.

Not to mention the great increase in the difficulty of cultivating immortals, the chances of cultivators becoming obsessed and even stepping into evil ways are also greatly increased.

The most frightening thing is that the monks on the side of the immortal road may be taken away by the demons and controlled by them.

He is not worried that the demon kingdom will form the Southern Barbarian Alliance to fight against the Celestial Dynasty, and a group of mobs will still be mobs if they gather together.

However, facing the intrusion and demagogy of the heavenly demon, he is very afraid.

The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by ant nests, and the Dachang Dynasty was not afraid of external enemies, but was afraid of internal collapse.

In the Celestial Court, there are monks who are constantly being eroded by the demons, and the destructive power is unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Mr. Ming Jing gasped, feeling rather shocked.

"Ling Xiao, your information is extremely important, so don't say anything for now to avoid commotion."

Chu Chen hurriedly cupped his hands: "Yes, disciple obeys!"

"Wanquan Daoyuan is on the right track under your management. With the help of a doctoral student, you don't need to spend too much energy. Next, you should focus more on the errands of the Supervision Department."

"Yes, the disciple understands."

Chu Chen nodded respectfully. He has been lecturing for many years. He not only taught Taoist disciples, but more importantly, he trained a group of doctoral students.

It is true that he does not need to take care of the Taoist errands at the moment. In the past year, he occasionally gave lectures and taught the true disciples, and spent most of the rest of his time on dual cultivation with Qingying.

However, if this is the case, the development of Wanquan Taoist Temple is far behind that of other Taoist temples.

After a few more instructions, Mr. Ming Jing left in a hurry without having much chat with Chu Chen.

Coming out of the palace, Chu Chen went straight to Han Chen's residence in Yunzhou City.

Coincidentally, just as Chu Chen arrived at the Han Mansion, he happened to run into Han Chen and his master Xu Pingdao, who had just returned from outside.

"Master, Lao Han, where have you been?"

Daoist Xu Ping squeezed out a smile on his face, and said:
"Just now the Daoist Master of Changyulou, Daoyuan Mountain in the imperial capital, summoned him as a teacher."

When Chu Chen heard this, he became curious and said:
"Master, senior Yulou is looking for you, but is it related to your errand?"

Han Chen smiled slightly when he heard the words, while Daoist Xu Ping was full of bitterness, and sighed:

"That's right, senior Yulou said, the Celestial Master is very optimistic about me, saying that I have perfected the fundamental method of the master's sect for my master. I have great wisdom, great perseverance, and great courage. I also taught you as an apprentice. You are good at preaching and teaching. Let me be the master. The head of the Taoist Temple in Yuqin County, Yunzhou."

"You saw this Yuqin Taoist Temple just now, and it is the last one in Yunzhou."

"I originally wanted to refuse as a teacher, but Senior Yulou said that the Celestial Master is very optimistic about me, and he tried his best to resist all opinions, so that I should not disappoint the high expectations of the Celestial Master."

As he spoke, Daoist Xu Ping's voice became lower and lower, and his gaze towards his apprentice was full of resentment.

Now, he understood Zhenqing's feelings a little bit.

Seeing Master's gaze, Chu Chen felt a little embarrassed.

Good guy, Mr. Ming Jing has become addicted to "picking up leaks". After picking up the "leakages" of his apprentices, he has his eyes on the master again.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Congratulations to the master for being promoted to the head of the Yuqin Dao Academy."

Han Chen, Chu Chen, and Taoist Xu Ping: "."

The next moment, Daoist Xu Ping glanced sharply at the three-inch radish kneeling on the black cloud, his eyes were sharp, and there was a hint of evil spirit.

The little ghost was taken aback for a moment, and he could see that the master was a little unhappy, so he immediately said submissively:
"My lord, I'm not asking for a spiritual incense to announce the good news to you."
