This is the system and the rules.

There can be no order without rules, and only with systems can things be governed.

Since Qin Ming had said so, if he had any needs, he could just mention it, so Zhou Qing wasn't going to be polite.

Zhou Qing thought for a moment and asked, "Does Yujing have the third volume of Haoran's Great Handprint?"

Qin Ming shook his head. "No, this Taoist technique has been a secret of the Saints Academy since the third volume."

"Even if someone outside of the family got it, it must have been allowed by the All Saints Academy. It is impossible for it to be passed on to others."

Zhou Qing felt a little regretful. Although he had guessed the answer before he asked, he still felt it was a pity.

"By the way, there is something I need to explain to you in advance."

"What's going on?"

"About your reward this time."

Qin Ming glanced at Zhou Qing and said, "Because of your status as a ghost and god patroller, you are affiliated with the Ghost and God Department. We are one of our own, so for your contribution this time, both the imperial court and the Ghost and God Department will reward you at the same time."

"However, because the Ghost and God Department still nominally belongs to Da Qi, the court will inform the Ghost and God Department in advance and make a decision based on the rewards from the Ghost and God Department."

"I understand that."

Zhou Qing nodded to show that he understood.

No matter how much control the imperial court has over the Department of Ghosts and Gods, it is still nominally a subsidiary of Da Qi.

It is normal for the court to give rewards to both parties at the same time and balance the intensity of the rewards. Whether the reward is more or less is all according to the rules.

Zhou Qing is not greedy. He just needs to be given a reward that matches his contributions. It doesn't matter whether it is a reward from one company or a reward from both sides added together.

No matter how much work he has done or how much he has taken, he will not ask for more.

Of course, you must not give less.

Is the bonus for the savior of Tianyue City also going to be deducted? ! "Let's talk about the rewards from the court first. The third volume of the Haoran Great Handprint you want is definitely not possible. The situation has been explained."

Qin Ming explained: "Also, the rewards from the court are usually treasures plus reputation. In layman's terms, promotion and treasures go hand in hand, and both are considered comprehensively."

"If you were an official of the imperial court, your achievements this time would be enough to allow you to rise to a high position in the imperial court, but you probably have no intention of joining the imperial court."

"So I guess I can only get some honorary titles."

After a brief thought, Zhou Qing understood what Qin Ming meant.

Indeed, the nature of the imperial court dictates that its rewards must take into account both fame and profit; this is the characteristic of this type of organization.

As for "promotion of official positions and titles", you can't really say that it has no value. As long as you act within the territory of Qi, the reputation bestowed by the court is effective and will have many hidden benefits.

No matter which dynasty or era, or which world, if a state official has made great contributions, it is impossible to just reward him with some money. This is the truth.

If you are an official in the court, the honor and promotion after making meritorious service are actually better rewards than directly rewarding you with treasures.

Although Da Qi is an extraordinary dynasty, it still has what it should have in the officialdom.

The strong in this world can run rampant, but the existence of a dynasty also requires management. It is impossible to let the masters of the Biluo Tongtian realm be busy with trivial matters of the dynasty.

This gives officials the opportunity to show their abilities, and when they become powerful, they can get whatever treasures they want...

Therefore, Da Qi’s rewards, which combine fame and fortune, are a very reasonable model.

But Zhou Qing...

Everyone knows that I, Zhou Qing, never seek fame.

Let’s get practical.

However, this is the rule of the court, and Zhou Qing has no choice. If the court bestows another famous weapon, he, as a citizen of Qi, can only accept it.

You can refuse, but if you refuse, you won’t be given any other compensation, and you’re not stupid.

Different from the parade of ghosts and gods, this time they may be directly conferred with official positions or titles. Of course, they are definitely honorary titles, with only names and salaries but no actual rights.

Even the title is just a name without any actual fiefdom.

After all, he was not an official in the Qi Dynasty, and it was impossible for him to enter the government directly because of this incident.

Although he is a member of the Department of Ghosts and Gods, the relationship between Xuandu Temple, the Department of Ghosts and Gods, and Da Qi... those who understand will understand.

Not to mention that he is not a formal member of the Department of Ghosts and Gods, but a member of the Ghost and God Parade, which is not part of the court organization.

After Zhou Qing figured this out, he couldn't help but sigh.

There is nothing much to say, Yu Yu.

Damn it, I had no intention of pursuing a career in politics, but it seems like I'm getting more and more powerful for some unknown reason.

First, there were the ghosts and gods parading around, and then no one knew what decision the court would make, and finally, we were going to the end of the universe.

Zhou Qing added: "I originally wanted to ask if I could ask the court for a Tianwu School for my contribution this time, but now that Qin Du has said this to you, it's probably impossible."

The imperial court is only responsible for part of the reward, which is divided into fame and fortune. There is not much hope for Tianwuxue, so it is better to think about other things.

Although the Haoran Great Handprint is a peerless Taoist technique, for ordinary people, there is no martial art more precious than the third volume.

After all, this is a Taoist art that progresses step by step.

Moreover, without the righteousness of the Great Haoran Handprint, its power can only be considered as excellent.

Generally speaking, only in the hands of the monks of the Academy of All Saints can the brilliance of this peerless Taoist art truly shine.

Qin Ming smiled, the meaning was self-evident, and then he continued: "Then it is the Ghost God Department's reward for you. Since you have decided to join Xuandu Temple, and your talent will definitely not cause any accidents, so you can have another choice."

"Guard Qin also knows that I want to join Xuandu Temple?"

Qin Ming said in a concise and shocking manner: "To go from Tianyue County to Hanzhou, you have to pass through Zhongtian City."

When Zhou Qing heard this, he immediately understood. He guessed that Lu Qingmo said this to Qin Ming when he passed by Zhongtian City.

"Yes, I will go to Hanzhou after I finish my business."

"In that case, you can keep this merit and use it after you get to Xuandu Temple." Qin Ming said, "You have made a great contribution this time. You can be credited with a great merit in Xuandu Temple. With this great merit, you can personally exchange the treasure you want in Xuandu Temple."

"The choices at Xuandu Temple are definitely more than what the Ghost and God Department can offer."

Zhou Qing was puzzled, "A great achievement?"

"This is the internal division of the disciples' accumulated merits in Xuandu Temple. It is divided into four levels: contribution points, small merits, big merits, and merits."

"Contribution points are the most basic and cannot be exchanged upwards. Ten small functions can be exchanged for one big merit, and vice versa. Big merit cannot be exchanged for virtue, but virtue can be split into big merit."

Zhou Qing understood that it was a special currency that was only available to Xuandu Temple. He then asked, "What can one great merit be exchanged for?"

"If an inner sect disciple has a great merit, he can exchange it for a Tianwu School, but he must go to Xuanfa Mountain to exchange it. The temple does not allow Tianwu School to be taken out of the mountain gate, and it cannot be taught privately."

Unless you have acquired Tianwu School by your own chance, no force will allow their disciples to take Tianwu School out of the mountain.

This is why it is difficult to obtain Tianwuxue from disciples of other forces. It is impossible for them to carry martial arts secrets around with them.

This example was simple and clear, and Zhou Qing understood it immediately.

Zhou Qing exclaimed: "This is a great achievement, it is very precious."

It can be directly exchanged for Tianwuxue, and the purchasing power can be said to be quite strong.

Such a reward is much more generous than that of Da Qi.

Qin Ming looked a little serious, "Don't even mention the big achievements, even the small achievements are hard-earned."

"Completing sect missions or ordinary demon-slaying tasks on a daily basis will not even accumulate a small merit, but will only give contribution points."

"Most of the disciples in Xuandu Temple still use the sect's contribution points when they are in the temple. A small contribution is already very remarkable."

"As for merits..." Qin Ming shook his head.

"Merit is a huge contribution that can be linked to peerless magic skills and peerless Taoism. It is very difficult to obtain."

"This time, you killed a Yin God demon leader by yourself and wiped out all the invading enemies of the Tianmu Sect without causing any unnecessary killings. You saved all the people of Tianyue City."

"The most important thing is that this matter was caused by Ye Zhong, the head of the Ghost and God Department. You turned the tide and saved Tianyue City, which greatly weakened the negative impact of Ye Zhong's collusion with the Tianmu Cult. And you were the only person from the Ghost and God Department who was present last night."

“That’s why I can accumulate a great merit directly.”

Zhou Qing suddenly realized that his great achievement was due to many factors.

If Xiao Wu is in charge of the people who are colluding with the Tianmu Sect, then even if he tries his best to turn the tide, he probably won't be able to accumulate much merit.

If it was Xiao Wu who had the problem, then Ye Chong must have been among those defending Tianyue City last night.

In this way, from the Ghost and God Department, two people will jointly guard Tianyue City. No matter who contributes more, the difference between one person and two people is definitely huge.

Every county ghost and god director came from a provincial temple, and in a sense, they are students of the masters of Xuandu Temple.

The Department of Ghosts and Gods is also deeply tied to Xuandu Temple.

Otherwise, Xuandu Temple will be in a passive position in Yujing and will also be ridiculed by other sects.

He not only saved Tianyue City, but also prevented Xuandu Temple from falling into a passive situation, which is a double contribution.

At this point, Zhou Qing had an accurate understanding of the difficulty of accumulating great merits. If other county towns were in danger of being massacred, or if it were any other situation, it would not necessarily be possible to obtain this great merit.

And it was fortunate that it was him. If it had been any other disciple from Xuandu Temple, we would have been doomed this time.

The massacre of Tianyue City is no small matter. It will shock Da Qi and spread throughout the world. Once it happens, the impact will be too bad.

This is what the Tianmu Sect does. If it is really successful, would the Tianmu Sect not actively promote it?

It will definitely become known to everyone.

By then, the Director of the Department of Ghosts and Gods will collude with the Tianmu Sect, which will greatly affect the image of Xuandu Temple.

The more Zhou Qing thought about it, the more he felt that he had really turned the tide this time.

I'm so awesome!

"If you do not want to convert this achievement into a great achievement in Xuandu, then your reward will be issued directly by the Yujing Ghost and God Department."

Zhou Qing said without hesitation: "Convert it into Xuandu Great Merit, and use it after I arrive at Xuandu Temple. I'm not in a hurry for now."

Which is better: going to Xuandu Temple to personally select the reward, or having the ghost and god department above bestow it on you? You can tell with your toes that the former is the better choice.

"It's the right choice. I will apply for you when I return to Zhongtian City." Qin Ming nodded.

"Is there still need to apply? What if the application is not approved?" Zhou Qing was shocked. He couldn't let any accidents happen.

"I haven't officially joined Xuandu Temple yet. Will someone use this as an excuse to say that the merits earned before joining the temple cannot be converted into great merits?"

"According to the sect rules, such an event is enough to accumulate a great merit. Unless the temple master objects, the sect rules are more important and no one can interfere."

Qin Ming smiled and said, "As for the fact that you haven't officially entered the temple yet, don't worry. I will send a message to Luo Liuli and ask her to go find Senior Sword Master. With Senior Sword Master leading the way, nothing will go wrong."

"Senior Jianjun told me about you when he returned to Xuandu Temple. He is very optimistic about you. You can do whatever you want."

Zhou Qing finally felt relieved.

He knew who Luo Liuli was; she was Lu Qingmo's third senior sister, a master of alchemy.

With the third senior sister and the Sword Master, it's safe.

“Even if you consume the great merit later, this great merit can still be of great help to your future cultivation in Xuandu Temple.”

"If you and other disciples compete for some benefits, such as treasures in the treasury, or a certain position in the temple, then the elders in the temple will also consider the merits of the disciples to make a decision."

"Whether it's the credit that was used or not used, it's a manifestation of seniority."

The used merits no longer have monetary value, but their meaning will not disappear, representing the disciple's past achievements.

"In fact, there is another benefit to converting this achievement into a great achievement in Xuandu. When the Ghost and God Department communicates with the imperial court, it can increase the reward from the imperial court."

Qin Ming smiled and said, "We can tell the court directly that you did not receive any reward from the Ghost and God Department this time. You just accumulated a merit, but they did not specify whether it was a big merit or a small merit."

"In this way, the court will be more generous since you have not received any substantial rewards for the time being."

Zhou Qing laughed, "That's good."

The people are the masters of the country, and there is no problem for them to get more benefits from the country.

"I will exchange this great achievement for Tianwuxue after I arrive at Xuandu Temple, and the reward from the court..."

Zhou Qing thought for a moment and said:

"If possible, I hope the court can reward me with a Heavenly and Earthly Strange Fire. Uh, two or three are fine too. The more the better. This is my biggest request."

"If there really isn't any, then try to get some divine materials. I want the divine materials to be mainly of the attributes of lightning and fire."

The previous requirement is naturally for the Earth Fire Seal.

Even if Zhou Qing obtained the Heavenly Fire in Jiuyang Ruins, the practice of the Earthly Fire Seal would never end. With each additional Heavenly and Earthly Fire, the power of the Earthly Fire Seal would be raised to a higher level, so the more the better.

The latter request is for Zhou Qing's natal magic weapon.

Zhou Qing planned to engrave the seal of heavenly thunder and earthly fire on the third branch of the Yibao Miao Tree. In this way, it would be best to devour as many divine materials with thunder and fire attributes as possible.

After listening to Zhou Qing's words, Qin Ming nodded and said it was okay.

"I will convey your request on your behalf. The Heaven and Earth Strange Fire Court must have it, but whether it will be produced is uncertain."

Da Qi is the richest country in the world, so the probability of finding the strange fire from heaven and earth is very high.

"But the imperial court can definitely provide divine materials with thunder and fire attributes."

Qin Ming probably guessed Zhou Qing's intention of wanting these things.

"Don't worry, I will talk about the strange fire first and try my best to get this thing. If that doesn't work, I will choose the divine material."

"Trouble Qin Du takes care of it."

"You're welcome. We are all from Xuandu Temple."

At this point, for Zhou Qing, the final step of the Tianyue Disaster incident was completed and the reward was fully agreed upon.

The rewards for saving Tianyue City this time include: a Tianwu School, which can only be redeemed after he arrives at Xuandu Temple.

The possible rare fire from heaven and earth, as well as some divine materials with thunder and fire attributes that will definitely be obtained.

The last thing is the official position reward. Promotion through the Ghost and God Parade is inevitable, and there is a high probability that you can also get an honorary position or title within the imperial court system.

Zhou Qing was very satisfied with these three rewards. Even though the court was not very good and only gave him some magical materials with thunder and fire attributes, there was a high probability that his natal magic weapon would be transformed once again, which was also a considerable gain.

And when he is promoted to the true disciple at Xuandu Temple, Xuandu Temple will directly bestow a heavenly martial arts school on him, which is a treatment that every true disciple has.

Then he exchanged his great merit for another martial art, thus achieving freedom in learning Tianwu, and completely filling his last shortcoming in martial arts.

In the past, I had always longed for but had no way to obtain the Tianwu studies, but now I had the hope of directly obtaining two of them.

It's really unpredictable, it's really sad.

This is the benefit of joining Xuandu Temple.

If Zhou Qing had not chosen Xuandu Temple before, he would naturally not have been able to obtain the Xuandu Merit for saving Tianyue City this time.

From the rewards given by the imperial court, it can be seen that saving Tianyue City is indeed a great achievement, but if you want to learn Tianwu, that is impossible.

This is the difference between our own people and outsiders.

There aren't enough good things for our own people, so why give them to an outsider? Zhou Qing felt more and more that his decision to join Xuandu Temple was the right one.

If you don't join, there will be no hope of obtaining Tianwuxue, and you don't know how long you will have to work hard on your own.

This is what they call leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade!

In this world, you need a background and a backer after all.

At the same time, Zhou Qing was also very grateful to Qin Ming. He was indeed trying his best to gain greater benefits for himself.

For something like the Xuan Du Great Merit, if Qin Ming didn't tell him, how would Zhou Qing know about it? If Qin Ming didn't help him apply for it, he would have no way to get it.

In the end, he could only get some rewards from Yujing Ghost and God Bureau, which was totally inferior to Tianwuxue.

The governor of the state ghost and god department really took good care of him.

Tears in my eyes.

Zhou Qing didn't understand why this person took such good care of him. He treated him like his own junior.

The last person who took care of him like this was Ye Chong...

Well, this comparison doesn't seem auspicious, but Qin Ming would certainly not do something like that.

Qin Ming added: "We have to report this matter in full after we return. The reward will take some time."

"When you go to Xuandu Temple and pass through Zhongtian City, you can come and claim the reward from the court."

Zhou Qing nodded, "I'll go to Jiuyangxu. If everything goes well, it won't take long."

The rewards will not be issued immediately, that’s for sure.

It is impossible that something just happened last night, and when Qin Ming and others came here, they brought his reward with them.

We need to wait for the above discussion before making a final decision.

Zhou Qing completely relaxed. All things had been resolved and the treasure chest was no longer in Tianyue City.

He could also leave and prepare to go to Jiuyang Ruins to look for the Heavenly Fire.

Then go to Xuandu Temple and completely get rid of your identity as a punk!
