Chapter 34
A granny Wang had just left in front of him, and now there was an old grandpa.
Standing in front of Wang Duan’s door was a gray-haired old man with his beard hanging down to his chest, holding a wooden staff in his hand and a large silver-mouthed copper-skinned gourd at his waist.
Wang Chen hurriedly saluted, “Eunuch Sun, what brings you here?”
This old grandpa was not an ordinary person, there was no cultivator of a higher generation than him within a few dozen miles.
It was also the chief of this area.
In the land of Yunyang Mountain Gate, although hundreds of thousands of acres of spiritual fields had been reclaimed, with thousands of farmers and tenants.
But there was no division into villages common to mortals.
In order to facilitate management, the Outer Sect General Hall arranged dozens of guardhouses on a household basis.
A guardhouse governed an average of three to four hundred households.
At the same time, a Ri Chief and a Guard Chief were established.
Most of the cultivators who served as Ri Chiefs were highly respected people.
Taigong Sun was said to be over ninety years old, as an old cultivator at the seventh level of Qi cultivation, his life was nearing its end, but he still looked hale and hearty.
Speaking was even more neutral: “Wang Duan ah, I’m looking for you for something.”
Wang Dust didn’t dare to be slow, “Please come in and speak.”
He respectfully invited Eunuch Sun to enter and take a seat in the small courtyard.
Taigong Sun was not polite and directly took out a piece of silk paper and handed it to Wang Dust: “This is the enlistment order issued by Wei Tang, you have been enlisted to join the Night Patrol Squad.”
Wang Chen took it and took a closer look, and sure enough, it said that he had been drafted into the 4th Night Patrol Squad of the B-10 Guards.
He is required to report to the guardhouse by tomorrow morning at six o’clock.
He was actually drafted into the night patrol team?
Wang Chen couldn’t help but be taken aback, “Taigong, this is not a mistake, right?”
He was in the B-10 guardhouse with more than 400 households and nearly 1,000 qi practicing cultivators.
Under normal circumstances, how could it not be Wang Dust’s turn as a seventeen year old to join the Night Patrol!
As the name suggests, the Night Patrol is a team that patrols at night, mainly to prevent demonic beasts, evil spirits and loose cultivators from invading the mountain gate.
This job was quite dangerous, and was usually taken up by experienced cultivators with strong fighting skills.
Wang Dust didn’t exactly fit the bill.
“It says your name on it, and we don’t have a second Wang Dust in the guardhouse.”
Sun Taigong laughed bitterly, “The enlistment order is stamped with the seal of law of the Wei Hall, even the Wei Chief has to comply.”
The Wei Hall’s dual chiefs, nominally the Li Chief is higher than the Wei Chief, but in reality the Wei Chief who holds the patrols has more power.
This was because the Wei Chang was a cultivator directly under the Wei Hall!
With this enlistment order in place, then Wang Chen joining the night patrol squad was the nail in the coffin.
Unless he rebelled against the Yunyang Sect, there was no possibility of refusal.
Sun Taigong sighed, “Recently, the ground has been unsettled, and the guards have enlisted cultivators to expand the patrol squad, and you are just one of them.”
After a pause, he added, “According to the rules, tomorrow you go to the guardhouse where you can pick two spells of the middle level of qi cultivation, you should think carefully today first so that you don’t choose the wrong one in haste tomorrow.”
“In addition, there are hun points to be gained from joining the night patrol team, and if you kill demonic beasts and evil spirits, you will also be able to get trophies.”
This old master rambled on a lot, all about the Night Patrol and the Night Watch.
The cultivators of the Night Patrol were also known as Night Watchmen.
Wang Dust listened attentively.
Suddenly being drafted by the Hall of Guards was completely unexpected.
Since it was irresistible, then Wang Dust would not complain about it tsk tsk tsk.
Adding to his own troubles.
He tried to think on the bright side – at least it wasn’t a wasted job.
Sun Taigong’s nudges were also useful, so that Wang Dust didn’t go into the night watchman with both eyes wide open.
One by one, he kept it in mind.
Sun Taigong stood up after he finished speaking, “I have to go, I have to go to the next house to deliver the enlistment order.”
It was quite hard for his old bones to run dozens of households.
When Wang Duan sent the old master out, he happened to meet Old Sun Tou passing by.
Old Sun Tou was humming a four or six out of tune tune, with a smug look that made him look rather lewd.
Tai Duke Sun instantly raised his white eyebrows and waved his wooden staff to knock over, “You prodigal son, you don’t go to work in the spirit field in broad daylight, are you trying to run to Qun Fang Pavilion to find a female cultivator of the Harmony Sect again?”
Old Sun Tau was knocked on the head by the staff coldly and covered his head in pain.
Seeing that the one who knocked him was Sun Taigong, he was scared out of his wits, “I’m not, I didn’t ……”
Old Sun Tou usually likes to lean on his old man in front of others, but in front of Sun Taigong, he becomes a real grandson, trying to defend himself while holding his head.
The wretched appearance made Wang Dust look speechless.
Sun Taigong waved his wooden staff.
Chasing and killing all the way.
Sun Taigong and Old Sun Tou were of the same clan, and the former was two generations older than the latter, so the relationship was quite close.
Grandpa Sun reckoned that he really hated his iron.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so annoyed.
And after sending Sun Taigong away, Wang Chen, who had been disturbed three times, was not in the mood to continue practicing his gongfu.
He began to ponder.
What spell should he choose as the most appropriate tomorrow.
Spells that were at the middle level of Qi cultivation required quite a high amount of Hoon points to exchange inside the Hall of Law Transmission.
Now there was a chance to obtain them for free.
And it was still two.
It would be too much of a loss if one didn’t choose with care!
Trying to recall his memories about the Qi Practicing Middle Stage spells, Wang Chen called out the Immortal Cultivation Panel.
Checking his skill bar.
Cleansing Art (Introductory): 99/100
Giant Strength Technique (Introductory): 99/100
Gengjin Finger (Grand Mastery): 37/400
Cloud and Rain Technique (Proficient): 19/200
Spiritual Eye Technique (Introductory): 99/100
Object Mastery (Beginner): 99/100
Vajra Fist (Introductory): 37/100
Over the past half a month or so, Wang Chen had spent a lot of time brushing up his skill proficiency.
Considerable results had been achieved by now.
Among them were the Cleansing Technique, Giant Power Technique, as well as the Spiritual Eyesight Technique and the Object Harnessing Technique, which he had just mastered not too long ago.
All of them had reached the bottleneck at the entry level.
Wang Chen still had 14 points of Human Virtue.
As long as he was willing, he could completely break through these four spells to the Proficient level in one breath!
But Wang Dust did not do so.
This was because his known rules for adding points to his merit were in 10-fold point increments.
The first time 1 point was consumed, the second time 10 points, and the third time would most likely be 100 points!
If they all followed the same rule.
By the fourth, fifth, and sixth time ……
The number of points that would be needed could only be described as terrifying!
So Wang Dust’s idea was to try to work on himself first, and then add points to break the realm if he couldn’t.
Try to push back the level of the first point addition as much as possible.
Greatly reduce the consumption of human virtue points.
For example, the Gengjin Finger, Wang Dust is the proficient level that he broke through, then proficient to minor accomplishment with 1 point, minor accomplishment to major accomplishment with 10 points, and major accomplishment to break the boundary is only 100 points.
It was completely within the range of affordability.
Spiritual Eye Technique, Harnessing Objects Technique and so on all belong to the low level spells of practicing qi, 3 points of root bone and enlightenment to break through the proficient level is certainly not a big problem.
It would never be wise to add points now!
In addition, he also needed to set aside human virtue points to prepare for the new skills that would be coming into his hands.
As for which two spells to choose, Wang Chen already had a preliminary idea.
