Lu Qingmo looked at Zhou Qing with complicated eyes. This intuition turned out to be correct.

"A kind of strange fire from heaven and earth, which is extremely helpful for martial arts practice after the Viscera Stage, and can also be used by cultivators at the Day Travel Stage."

"There is a pure Yangyan that has been cultivated for many years in Xuandu Temple. It is very precious and one must pay a huge price to be eligible to apply for its use."

"But this pure Yangyan is not as good as the one in Xuandu Temple. Judging from its level, it should only be effective against the Bone Refining Realm and the Sun Travel Stage."

"If a relatively ordinary bone-refining warrior can be tempered by pure sunlight, his strength can leap forward and surpass most warriors of the same level."

Zhou Qing was surprised. So powerful? As for the fact that it was not as good as the one in Xuandu Temple, Zhou Qing was not disappointed.

"Does this fire have any special bonus for killing monsters?"

Lu Qingmo glanced at Zhou Qing and asked, "What's your question?"

"Except for a few harmless fires, all other flames can be used against enemies, including pure Yangyan."

“But how is it possible that pure Yangyan could be born from the Yang-enhancing Marrow Pearl…”

Lu Qingmo was puzzled.

The Yang-enhancing Marrow Bead comes from a wild beast called the Red Yang Beast.

Pure Yangyan is a rare fire from heaven and earth, and it is impossible for it to be condensed by a wild beast.

"Could it be that the Red Sun Beast accidentally ate pure Yangyan?"

“If it was ingested by mistake, the pure Yang Flame should have burned the Red Sun Beast to death directly instead of entering the marrow bead.” Lu Qingmo shook his head.

"The Red Sun Beast is dead. I'm afraid no one knows what happened at that time."

Zhou Qing's mind moved, "Where will the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce go to hunt the Red Sun Beast and collect the Yang-enhancing Marrow Pearls?"

"It should be the Jiuyang Ruins in Tianyang County next door."

Jiuyang Ruins...

Zhou Qing kept this name in mind.

"Aunt Mo, how should we preserve this pure Yangyan?"

"There is a magical tool called the Fire Pot, which is specially used to store strange flames and is often used when refining pills and casting tools." Lu Qingmo said:

"You can store it in the fire-collecting pot and use it when your soul is traveling or you are practicing martial arts to refine your bones."

Good stuff, but I don't have it.

"You can find the fire pot in the Ghost and God Department. I will get it for you."

"This is not given by me. You have discovered and destroyed the Tianmu Sect's stronghold. Your contribution is enormous. Even a magic weapon is not enough to reward you."

"Sorry to bother Aunt Mo."

Zhou Qing nodded, but suddenly found that something was wrong with his body.

"Aunt Mo, why do I feel inexplicably... a little hot?"

It was more than just a little hot. Zhou Qing also felt a desire rising in his heart, especially since Lu Qingmo was right in front of him. She had curvy figure, even more exquisite than the senior sister, and a mature temperament, which made Zhou Qing even more excited.

"hot?"

Lu Qingmo was stunned at first, but after seeing the fiery look Zhou Qing gave her, she finally reacted.

"Yang-enhancing marrow beads!" Zhou Qing blurted out these four words.

"Aunt Mo, I'm leaving first!"

Zhou Qing immediately stood up and ran out without even having time to close the door.

A strange look flashed across Lu Qingmo's face, and she understood what had happened.

Under the effect of the Yang Enhancement Marrow Pearl, he was...

This is the second time with Zhou Qing.

Lu Qingmo was also a little at a loss as he had no experience in dealing with this situation.

Zhou Qing returned to his room and immediately activated the Qingxin Jade Pendant to calm his mind and gradually calm down.

Zhou Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What was going on?

Last time it was a secret room, this time it was Lu Qingmo’s room.

Why do accidents always happen whenever the two of them are alone in a closed environment? Zhou Qing called An Lang out and told her that he had bought enough materials for making incense. He asked her to practice at night and work overtime during the day to make more incense.

An Lang reacted, "Then I won't have time to sleep, right?"

"Why sleep for a long time when you are alive? You will sleep forever after you die." Zhou Qing corrected An Lang's words.

"Technically, you have been sleeping forever."

"Wow." An Lang covered his face and cried again, with cracks between his fingers.

"Then I'll let you sleep during the day."

An Lang put his hand down and smiled.

"Fake."

"Oh, oh, oh."

An Lang covered his face and fled into the ghost town.

Oh, ghost girl, your name is disguise.

In the evening, Lu Qingmo took Zhou Qing to a banquet again. There were only the two of them and Mr. Ye at the table.

During the meal, Zhou Qing also had a general understanding of the relationship between Lu Qingmo and Ye Lao - Ye Zhong.

After dinner, the two walked back.

"When I came out of Yujing, I was first assigned to Tianyue County to learn from Master Ye how to manage the Ghost and God Department and deal with ghost and god matters."

"I will go to Black Cloud Town after I become proficient in it."

Because of this relationship, even though Lu Qingmo came from Xuandu Temple and had a higher status, he still respected Ye Chong.

"I have already reported everything about Heiyun to my superiors. I should be able to return to Heiyun Town tomorrow." Lu Qingmo continued:

"I have also given your silver essence and azure gold liquid to the weaponsmith, but refining a weapon cannot be done in a day or two. It takes quite a lot of time."

Lu Qingmo turned his head to look at Zhou Qing, "So are you going to stay in the county city and wait for the martial arts weapon to be successfully refined, or are you going back with me tomorrow?"

Zhou Qing hesitated a little. Should he go back or not? Then he heard Lu Qingmo continue to say: "If you choose to stay here, I will come to pick you up when the army is ready."

"If you choose to go with me tomorrow, I will come with you to get the troops then."

“…”

So the two choices you gave me are just teasing me, right? Naughty, right?

Aunt Mo, naughty people will be...

Since Lu Qingmo is willing to come to the county town again, Zhou Qing will naturally choose to leave tomorrow.

Lu Qingmo smiled and returned to his room, leaving only one sentence for Zhou Qing.

"Just practice normally. I will cover up the matter of the Yuan Qi Demon for you."

Tonight, Zhou Qing concentrated on cultivating his soul. Even at twelve o'clock in the evening, he did not enter the secret realm to chop trees.

We are in someone else's territory and Lu Qingmo is right next to us, so it is better to be cautious.

The vital energy of heaven and earth was continuously refined into his soul, and the illusion had no effect on Zhou Qing.

Under the power of the Golden Light Curse, the Yuan Qi Demon actually became the nourishment for the improvement of Zhou Qing's soul.

The reason why Zhou Qing’s soul could advance to the late stage of out-of-body state so quickly was largely due to the essence of Yuan Qi carried by the Yuan Qi Demon.

While Zhou Qing was concentrating on practicing, Lu Qingmo was not idle either. He used his own power to cover up the situation there so that no one could see Zhou Qing.

The fact that the out-of-body state can attract the Yuan Qi Demon is too shocking. If it were to be spread out, I don’t know how much trouble it would cause.

After a night, Ye Zhong appeared in front of Zhou Qing and the others. He first handed a space bag to Lu Qingmo, then looked at Zhou Qing and said kindly:

"It is true that heroes emerge young. When I was your age, I was still studying in the Taoist temple, but you have already wiped out a Tianmu Sect stronghold."

"Mr. Ye, you are too kind." Zhou Qing was very humble.

"Would you like to become a patrol officer of the Ghost and God Department?"

"Ghosts and gods parading?" Zhou Qing looked at Lu Qingmo.

"Compared to being a figurehead in the Ghost and God Department, the salary of a patrol officer is more generous, and he or she also has real power and can mobilize members of the Ghost and God Department whose ranks are lower than his or her own."

"The parade is not affiliated with the Ghost and God Department of a certain place. It can go anywhere in Da Qi. The rights will not change."

"The duty of the patrol is to travel around the world, inspect the world, and deal with matters concerning ghosts and gods."

"The most important thing is that the counties are in charge, and they can't force ghosts and gods to patrol."

Zhou Qing was stunned. The parade of ghosts and gods was too free. It was even freer than having a nominal position in the Department of Ghosts and Gods.

He is a figurehead in the Department of Ghosts and Gods and occasionally helps out with work. If he doesn't do anything, his salary will be reduced, but it doesn't matter if no one is seen during the so-called ghost and god parades for a year or several years.

Anyway, as long as I am outside, no matter what I do, even if I sleep every day, I am fulfilling my patrol duties.

How dare you assume that I didn't exorcise the demon in my dream? You still get the money, the position, the power, and the governors of the counties and prefectures cannot order you around.

If Zhou Qing became a wandering ghost, and if Ye Chong asked him to do something, he could completely ignore Ye Chong.

Zhou Qing wondered how the Ghost and God Department could create such a position that was almost out of control?

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

Isn't this a perfect position for a parasite? Then Lu Qingmo said, "Generally speaking, only when the disciples of Xuandu Temple go out for training will the ghosts and gods parade."

“…”

Got it. Now Zhou Qingquan understood.

It turned out that this was a position prepared for the disciples of the Great Qi State Religion.

No wonder they are so free and have such great power, no wonder they can ignore the supervision of the Ghost and God Department in various counties.

Xuandu Temple, the state religion of Daqi, is there a problem with its disciples enjoying various privileges? No problem.

Damn, people with connections are so annoying.

Fortunately, I am that person with connections now.

Zhou Qing said solemnly: "I am willing to become a ghost god and dedicate my strength to Da Qi!"

He is honored to hold this glorious and great position!

"Very good. From today on, your name will be recorded in the Book of Ghosts and Gods, and you will become a ghost god parade recognized by Xuandu Temple."

Lu Qingmo said seriously:

"The Ghost and God Parade is divided into nine ranks. Logically speaking, when you first take office, you should only be a ninth-rank Ghost and God Parade."

"But destroying the Tianmu Sect's stronghold is a great achievement, so I have promoted him to an eighth-rank patrol officer, and can mobilize eighth-rank, ninth-rank, and ninth-rank Ghost and God Department members."

The official positions in Da Qi were divided into nine grades and eighteen ranks, and each grade was divided into main and subordinate ranks, and the same was true for the members of the Department of Ghosts and Gods.

But this parade of ghosts and gods is different. There are no subordinate ranks, only genuine ranks. Once they are promoted, they will be promoted by several levels compared to other people in the public office.

There are few people in the counties who hold a higher position than Zhou Qing, who holds an eighth-rank position.

Zhou Qing was secretly happy. The end of the universe was the organization. He entered the end of the universe today! And compared with other people, this speed of promotion could be described as a step to heaven.

Lu Qingmo handed Zhou Qing a token, one side of which was engraved with the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram, the other side was engraved with the word "parade", and a set of clothes, representing the identity of the ghost and god parade.

"Aunt Mo, don't we need to ask for permission for the appointment of the ghost and god parade?"

"Don't worry about that. The State Ghost and God Department has already agreed."

"In addition to being promoted to the first rank, there are other rewards for destroying the Tianmu Sect's stronghold and discovering the Tianmu Sect's conspiracy." Lu Qingmo looked at Ye Chong.

"You can go to the County Ghost and God Department's treasury to choose treasures, but you can only choose three."

"Mr. Ye will tell you which range of treasures you can choose from."

"Zhou Xunyou, come with me." Old Ye said with a smile.

"Mr. Ye is embarrassing me."

Zhou Qing followed Mr. Ye and they chatted on the way.

"Zhou Xunyou is really highly valued by Lu Duguan." Old Ye sighed:

"I am willing to recommend and guarantee you to become a ghost and god parade."

"I hope Zhou Xunyou won't disappoint Lu Duguan, otherwise, she will also be punished by Xuandu Temple."

"I will live up to Aunt Mo's expectations." Zhou Qing said seriously. He could understand what Ye Zhong meant.

"When we get to the treasury later, Zhou Xunyou can choose three treasures at will." Ye Zhong said, "I won't set any restrictions. The highest item in the treasury is the Sun Tour level, such as the Sun Tour Daoist Art."

"Thank you, Mr. Ye."

At the same time, Zhou Qing also asked Ye Chong if he had any recommendations if he wanted to choose a certain category.

Ye Zhong also gave Zhou Qing direct advice, there was no need to hide anything.

With Ye Zhong leading the way, Zhou Qing naturally entered the treasure house smoothly, and then Ye Zhong let Zhou Qing choose by himself.

There are really a lot of things in the treasure house, including visualization diagrams, magical instruments, Taoist spells, spiritual plants, soul plants, elixirs, and all kinds of strange and weird things.

Zhou Qing first walked around to see if the gemstone had any reaction, but unfortunately there was no buzzing sound.

Zhou Qing directly ruled out things like spiritual plant elixirs and would not choose them.

These are the items with the highest drop rate from the Daqianxian Tree.

The first thing Zhou Qing took a fancy to was a day-travel-level Taoist technique.

The Great Handprint

The way is vast, the sky is clear and the earth is bright, change the world and hold up the sky with one hand.

This is also a Taoist technique recommended by Ye Zhong. It is definitely one of the best in the daily Taoist techniques.

Zhou Qing still remembers the first time she saw Lu Qingmo take action, she also used a similar Taoist technique with boundless power, which Zhou Qing liked very much.

Moreover, among the Taoist seeds dropped by the Great Thousand Immortal Tree, there has not yet appeared such a direct and powerful offensive Taoist technique, which is what Zhou Qing lacks.

He couldn't possibly ask Lu Qingmo for everything; he wasn't a vampire.

Then Zhou Qing chose another Taoist technique of escape, "A Thousand Miles Away".

A practitioner must not only be able to fight, but also be able to run.

This Taoist technique is considered to be one of the best escape techniques here.

One attack and one speed are enough. As for defense, the Golden Light Curse is enough.

There are several Taoist techniques here that are as powerful as "Haoran Great Handprint" and "Thousand Miles of Shadows", and the reason why Zhou Qing chose these two is because.

Ye Chong specifically mentioned to him that these two Taoist arts would have further evolutions, but they were too precious and could only be obtained by going to the State Ghost and God Bureau.

This means that after Zhou Qing has practiced these two Taoist arts, he will have the opportunity to seamlessly connect their sequels in the future.

Zhou Qing did not hesitate to choose the incense-making technique as the third reward.

The incense-making techniques here record a very complete range of incense, from the visualization realm to the day-travel stage.

An Lang has a lot to learn.

It won't be long before Zhou Qing enters the Divine Wandering Realm, so he needs to prepare in advance the incense that can assist him in practicing this realm.

It should be said that An Lang needs to prepare in advance...

In Zhou Qing's daily practice, although the incense is inconspicuous, it does play a role.

When monks make incense, they usually follow a step-by-step procedure. They can only make incense of a certain level when they have reached a certain level. It is difficult to make incense beyond one's level.

But An Lang is a ghost, so she has another convenience: she can directly use the power of the moon.

So for An Lang, there is no such thing as jumping to a higher level. The most important thing is that An Lang’s talent is really good.

After leaving the treasure house, Ye Zhong was a little surprised when he saw Zhou Qing's choice.

"I thought you would choose treasures like spiritual plants and elixirs."

"I am still lacking in Taoism."

Then Zhou Qing said righteously: "As for realm cultivation, I believe more in the power gained through my own hard work."

As for the Great Thousand Immortal Tree?

That's all his own talent! 　Two chapters merged into one, 4200 words. Previously I posted two chapters of 2000 words each. Today's word count is the same as before, no less, but I don't want to break it up, so I posted it all together.
