I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 63 - 57: Forming the Inner Force and Casting the Yellow Court, The Benefits of Being a Guardian, and Ruan Xiuxiu Volunteers!
[You stepped onto the Ancient Path of Reception, and resonated with the Great Demon Hunter Statue within the Martial Temple, thus startling the Divine Capital and drawing Master of Baoping State Pei Nanbei and Demon Hunter General Ye Cang to rush overnight to Wutong Prefecture.]
[From the mouth of Demon Hunter General Ye Cang, you learned that Prefecture Venerable Bai Qiuyi comes from the ’Profound Dragon Bai Clan’, who decades ago was cast into dust by the Empress of Great Zhao and the Great Demon Hunter Master as the ’Sinful Blood Armor’.]
[These Sinful Blood members perceived themselves as superior, comparing themselves to princes, claiming their gifts exceeded humans and demons, and after losing power, formed the ’Divine Blood Sect’, conspiring with demonic and non-official forces to ’overthrow Great Zhao’!]
[You disrupted Bai Qiuyi’s schemes in Wutong Prefecture and gained the favor of Demon Hunter General Ye Cang. As you advanced too rapidly into Great Innate, causing an unstable foundation and little knowledge of the path ahead, Ye Cang, after consideration, personally intervened, bestowing upon you the ’Enlightenment Method’!]
[You received the technique demonstrated by Demon Hunter General Ye Cang, opening your Forehead Ancestral Acupoint, mastering the ’Vajra’s Furious Gaze, Pupil of Truth’, and accomplished the first barrier of the Great Innate, the ’Vajra Realm’!]
[Also, you received an Outer Skill Technique from Ye Cang, ’Dragon and Tiger True Gang’!]
[When you stepped out of the wing room, from Wutong Demon Hunter Xiang Zhulu, you learned that Pei Nanbei and Ye Cang had already left Wutong Prefecture a stick of incense ago.]
[With the position of Wutong Prefecture Venerable vacant, it is temporarily replaced by the similarly ranked Demon Hunter Xiang Zhulu.]
[However, due to your familiarity with Xiang Zhulu, your Seventh-Grade Guardian position will not be affected. When you finished cultivating ’Vajra’s Furious Gaze, Pupil of Truth’, and walked out of the wing room, you saw Xiang Zhulu approaching,]
[Instinctively, you noticed that the gaze of this superior, who previously appreciated you greatly, was quickly changing.]
[If previously, you were merely a young talent with potential and qualities that could be cultivated by Xiang Zhulu.]
[Now, he sees you as a rising star within the Baoping State’s Demon Hunting Department.]
[Xiang Zhulu’s fondness for you has increased from ’Meeting late regret’ to ’Heart and soul counterparts’!]
...
Song Chai Xin walked out of the wing room,
and saw Xiang Zhulu waiting outside, clad in Suanni Armor, looking fierce but wearing a friendly smile, inexplicably giving him goosebumps:
"Lord Xiang, what’s this..."
He had seen Xiang Zhulu’s boisterous laughter and his disdainful smile towards the Ancient Hong Sword, but never this one, so he was not used to it at all.
As a third-step Demon Hunter, especially one close to the Demon Hunter General, even if Ye Cang saw potential in him, was it necessary to react like this...
Seeing the strange look in Song Chai Xin’s eyes.
Xiang Zhulu might have noticed his own intimidating gaze, like a wolf seeing a lamb, too obvious.
So he lightly coughed, awkwardly handed a bottle of fragrant elixirs to the young man before him:
"I haven’t smiled much over the years, so it’s a bit awkward."
"Is it that obvious? Then I’ll stop smiling."
"You’ve mastered Vajra’s Furious Gaze and Pupil of Truth, and with General Ye’s Enlightenment Method, it definitely comes with some aftereffects."
"Here, take this."
"Dan Shen Hu Jin Da Dan can replenish deficiencies, boost Vajra Qi Blood, and cannot be consumed by others than those of Great Innate; it’s a Spirit Grade True Pill used to solidify Vajra Realm cultivation."
"Items of ’Spirit Grade’, whether medicinal, great pills, or artifacts, are seldom seen outside, and hard to buy even if you want to."
"But as a Seventh-Grade Guardian, your annual salary standard will be reimbursed by the government office."
"According to rules, Ninth-Grade requires Circulation Qi Collection at minimum, also Vajra Realm."
"Eighth-Grade positions are generally held by those at the second barrier of Great Innate, ’Yellow Court’, while Seventh-Grade, nearly all are at Great Innate Peak, having formed their Divine Soul, in the ’Carefree’ Realm."
"You’ve been exceptionally promoted, but the benefits you deserve won’t be lacking."
"Things like silver, copper coins, etc., needn’t be mentioned. As a Seventh-Grade official, you will receive one Dan Shen Hu Jin Da Dan a month to support your Vajra Realm foundation."
"Every half-year, you will receive a Yellow Court Qi Condensing Pill, which accelerates the Qi gathering and Casting of the Yellow Court."
"The most precious for a Seventh-Grade official is one Profound Nether Soul Gathering Pill annually; the key for Great Innate is to gather the Divine Soul and reach the Carefree Realm."
"And this elixir helps make your gathered Divine Soul more solidified, allowing an earlier breakthrough to the Carefree Realm, reaching the third step."
"Of course, these salaries must wait for the regular Prefecture Venerable to be appointed, report to the State Mansion, then they can be issued to you."
"For now, I can only advance this Vajra Realm elixir to stabilize your foundation."
Song Chai Xin reached out mid-air, accepting the elixir and just about to thank him, but upon hearing this, his face fell:
"So this elixir isn’t a kind gift from you, but rather... the reward for my ’Seventh-Grade Guardian’ position?"
Xiang Zhulu was momentarily stunned:
"What did you expect then."
"The best thing I can give you is Baiyujing Yang Xiu’s half-scroll of Authentic Fragmented Fist Diagram; if you want resources, I have none."
"Such ’Dan Shen Hu Jin Da Dan’ sells for a hundred taels of silver each outside, and still is rare and priceless; I don’t have the deep accumulation like your Xie Mansion, all resources are used immediately to enhance cultivation."
"Don’t be mistaken by my position as Prefecture Demon Hunter and temporary Wutong Prefecture Venerable; I have nothing but my cultivation."
"Of course, if you’re talking about monster meat, as Demon Hunters, we can bring back plenty daily, and there’s still a lot stewing in the pot, eat to your fill."
