Chapter 449.
Swallowing Purple Qi in the morning and cultivating Xuan Gong at night.
Wang Chen, who had returned to the Western Sea City, promoted to the third level of the Violet Mansion in waves.
During his time on Thunder Island, in addition to diligently practicing the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Law, he hadn’t fallen behind in his cultivation of the Innate Five Elements Technique.
As the days and months accumulated, he naturally brushed up his experience.
With Wang Chen’s current root bone and enlightenment, even if he didn’t have any more points to increase in the future, it was still possible to condense the Jindan.
A small realm breakthrough from the second to third level of the Violet Mansion would be nothing at all.
And his goal was the Purple Mansion Higher Level.
Of course it would naturally be best if he could condense the Golden Dan in the Western Sea Sect.
On the other hand, Wang Chen had never gotten any clues about the “Path to Heaven”.
The Changchun of that year had only given him a name.
Wang Chuan once went to inquire about it openly and secretly, but the result was nothing.
But Wang Chen was not anxious, after all, the most important thing for him now was to improve his cultivation.
With a strong strength, even if he didn’t make it to the upper realm in the end, he would have more certainty of surviving the future catastrophe.
As a matter of fact, Wang Chen was still quite satisfied with the life at hand.
Within the West Sea Sect’s mountain gate, the spiritual qi was rich, there were both peaks that received purple qi and lake islands for practicing spells, and there were countless gong methods in the sect’s bookstore, where one could often get Jindan lectures to instruct them.
Although he did not enter the true tradition, as a bottom cultivator, what more could he ask for?
However, just as Wang Chen decided to continue to live for a year or two to impact the middle stage of the Purple Mansion, a runic letter from the Ministry of Zong Affairs broke his peaceful life.
“Guarding the Western State Border County?”
Wang Chen was very surprised at the assignment from the Sect Affairs Department, “I’ve already completed a limited mission once ah.”
While enjoying the benefits of the sect, sect disciples also had to bear corresponding responsibilities and obligations.
Whether they were initiated or vein disciples, they were treated equally in this regard.
The so-called limited tasks were actually mandatory tasks with time restrictions and requirements for completion.
If the task could not be completed or failed, then it would have to be offset with merit points.
If there weren’t enough points, they would be withdrawn from the inner sect or even the clan!
The last time he purged the Xuan Yi horse thieves was a limited mission, and it had been less than a year since then, and there was actually a new assignment, which made Wang Chen feel very upset.
He didn’t believe that other inner sect disciples would receive limited missions so frequently as he did.
Intuition told Wang Chen that he was being targeted!
The deacon of the sect affairs department replied expressionlessly, “That was completed last year, this time is for this year.”
Wang Dust’s face turned blue, “But this time, the mission will take three years!”
The new mission assigned to him by the Ministry of Zong Affairs was to travel hundreds of thousands of miles away to the Western Prefecture Prefecture to serve as a township Heavenly Master.
The duration was three years.
The county called Great Ying was located in the borderlands of the Western Prefecture, and being sent there as a Town Guard Heavenly Master was very much an exile.
“The three-year exemption limit after completion.”
The deacon of the sect affairs department looked at Wang Dust with a hint of pity hidden in the depths of his eyes, “This is the sect’s stipulation.”
He had no grievances with Wang Chen, so of course he could not intentionally make things difficult for the latter.
And as this limited mission was assigned from above, he also had no reason to relieve Wang Chen.
One could only say that Wang Dust was unlucky.
Wang Dust calmed down, “Understood.”
The wood has been turned into a boat, so there is no room for him to resist as a small initiated disciple.
Unless he broke away from the West Sea Sect and ran away to become a casual cultivator elsewhere.
As for the idea of using hun points to offset ……
Wang Dust didn’t have many Hoon Points left, the proceeds from the last quest reward only left him with one or two hundred points by now.
“The places in the Western State are a bit tougher.”
Seeing that Wang Chuan did not act excessively, the deacon of the sect affairs department secretly sighed in relief and said in relief, “But the sect’s rewards are still very generous.”
Ten bottles of Purple Yun Dan, ten bottles of Peiyuan Dan, ten bottles of Soul Nourishing Dan, plus five hundred Zhongling and a set of second-ranked Dharma robes.
This was the first annual salary Wang Chen received.
During the mission, he would receive the same salary every year.
And it was only bestowed from the sect side, the local county had another offering.
The rank of a Heavenly Master in the sect was equivalent to that of an expatriate official, and there were two main categories: long term and short term.
Wang Chen’s three-year term would be short-term, while long-term could be permanent.
When Wang Chuan was in the Yunyang Sect, he had once served as a Zhenguo Tianshi, and was stationed in a small local city to suppress evil spirits.
However, Yunyang Sect’s Heavenly Master of Suppression and West Sea Sect’s Heavenly Master of Suppression were two completely different things.
The latter’s power was much greater!
In fact, for many disciples who had no bright future, being sent out as a Heavenly Master of Suppression was also quite good.
Especially if they were assigned to a wealthy and stable city, they could earn a lot of cultivation resources after a few years of mixing.
However, when assigned to the relatively barren Western Prefecture and in the border area, it was undoubtedly a hard job!
On the clan’s side, there was considerable compensation, such as rewarding a higher number of points.
The problem was that Wang Chen only wanted to cultivate in peace.
So he was completely indifferent to the words of relief from the deacon of the sect affairs department.
“You have half a month to arrive, if you fail to arrive after the deadline, you will be punished according to the sect rules, remember to remember!”
Leaving the Department of Sect Affairs, Wang Chen rushed to Ten Thousand Spirits City.
He wasn’t alone now, he already had attachments and bonds here.
Once he was gone for three years, then arrangements definitely needed to be made.
“Langjun is going to the Great Ying of the Western State to become a township heavenly master?”
When Xu Xinlan knew that Wang Chen was about to go far away to the Western State, she said without thinking, “Concubine will go with you!”
To Xu Xinlan, nothing was more important than Wang Duan.
Not to mention leaving her home country, even if she rebelled against the sect, she was willing to follow Wang Chen.
“No.”
Wang Chen touched Xu Xinlan’s pretty face and said, “Just cultivate well in Wan Ling City and wait for me for three years.”
This trip was hundreds of thousands of miles away, fortune and misfortune could not be predicted, he was free to enter and exit single-handedly, but bringing Xu Xinlan with him might not be able to protect him.
Xu Xinlan is only practicing qi cultivation, there is absolutely no need to go with him to the western state to suffer.
Even though Xu Xinlan is reluctant to give up, she knows that she can hardly help Wang Chen, but will become a burden to the latter.
Furthermore, three years was not a very long time for a cultivator.
She nodded silently, her eyes already wet with tears.
Three days later, Wang Chen stepped onto the flying ship in the western state ahead.
Zuo Xiaomo came to see him off.
When it was time to say goodbye, he said with incomparable guilt, “Senior Brother Wang, it’s me who dragged you down.”
Wang Dust had always kept a low profile and had always been a loner, having neither a few friends nor any enemies.
Those who had grudges against him, I’m afraid they were all unrelated to Zuo Xiaomo!
Although the truth was unknown, Zuo Xiaomo knew very well that this matter was bound to be related to himself!
“Don’t say anything stupid.”
Wang Dust patted his shoulder, “I’m not going to die, what’s the point of getting involved, you help me take care of Xinlan, if there’s anything you can tolerate, tolerate it and let it go, wait for me to come back.”
Zuo Xiaomo nodded vigorously.
