Celestial Immortal

Chapter 859

Chu Chen is so good at escaping, even if he doesn't deliberately cover up his breath, it is difficult for others to see his true cultivation.

It is the elders of the teacher's school, or those who have a higher level of Taoism than him, can see a thing or two. These days, Chu Chen walks around the department of the Demon Academy, and there are very few people who can really see the depth of his cultivation. .

It was also because of this that when Chu Chen sat on the throne of the deputy minister of the Libu Discussion Hall, there were repeated exclamations in the hall, and everyone's eyes were in disbelief.

Chu Chen smiled slightly, no longer covering up, all the gods in his body manifested, and the gods stood by.

At this moment, Da Ma Jindao was sitting on the seat, his whole person was like a prehistoric behemoth, terrifying, depressing, and domineering.

"boom!"

There were exclamations again in the hall, and many people probably saw Chu Chen's strength, and their faces were full of disbelief.

"Fourth-grade Dzogchen, no, I must have practiced the super-grade method."

Taoist Feilong, Li Guangshi's uncle and nephew looked at each other, they couldn't believe it, and they didn't want to believe it was true.

Three years ago, Chu Chen was only at the middle stage of the fourth rank. In just a few years of kung fu, he not only entered the late fourth rank, but even reached the perfection of the fourth rank.

Taoist Feilong and Li Guang naturally didn't see Chu Chen's goodness, subconsciously felt that Chu Chen had cultivated evil skills and evil methods, and that's why he had such a Taoist practice.

Ever since, the two unwilling souls fell on Chu Chen, trying to get a glimpse of his practice of evil skills and heresy from Chu Chen's aura.

However, to the disappointment of the two of them, Chu Chen's breath was peaceful, and he exuded Taoist magic power all over his body, not to mention a trace of evil qi, not even impetuous qi.

Even, the Sanguangzhengqi and Tianxin mana in Chu Chen's body were more pure than before, faintly echoing the mana in their body.

Li Guang couldn't help but transmit his spiritual consciousness: "Uncle, where did Chu Chen get our Tianxin Yimai Dharma door? I always feel that there is an inexplicable aura about him."

Taoist Fei Long looked extremely ugly, and felt inexplicably irritable.

Chu Chen's Taoism has improved by leaps and bounds, and it seems that he has inherited Tianxin's lineage. If this continues, everything will be bad.

In the world of practice, Taoism is the most convincing.

After revealing the Taoism and cultivation of the fourth-rank super-rank, all the elders and deacons in the temple did not have any doubts. Chu Chen introduced himself. fourth.

This "fourth" is only ranked according to the qualifications of new and old, behind Taoist Feilong and Taoist Konggu. In fact, the status of the three is similar, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.

All three of them are candidate elders of the Central Elder's House, and they are fourth-rank immortals. They are all at the same level, and even the division of labor is actually similar.

Taoist Feilong has the deepest level of cultivation and the oldest qualifications. He is in charge of the first and second classes of the Libu.

Three years ago, at the late stage of the fourth rank, Konggu Shanren was only one step away from the Dzogchen. In the past two years, his cultivation has reached the fourth rank of Dzogchen, and he has practiced the super-rank method. His strength is extraordinary. Now he is in charge of the third class of Libu, Class four;

As the newly promoted deputy minister, Chu Chen naturally couldn't grab the jobs of the other two deputy ministers.

Ever since, Master Huixin transferred some of the demon deacons from the other four classes, and asked for someone from Xianting, planning to set up the fifth and sixth classes of Libu, and hand them over to Chu Chen.

In fact, the specific errands that the elder Momo and the deputy minister do are similar, nothing more than subduing demons and eliminating demons.

However, after becoming the leader of the Li Ministry and having a subordinate department in charge, the deacon of the demons under his command slays demons and eliminates demons. As the deputy minister in charge, he has strategized and commanded properly, so naturally he has credit.

In other words, even if Chu Chen didn't slay a great supernatural demon, he still performed meritorious deeds every month under his command.

Although monsters are rampant in the eight states in the southwest, there are always a small number of monsters with great supernatural powers, and most of the monsters killed are fifth-rank and below.

Becoming the deputy minister of the Ministry of Li is equivalent to guaranteeing income in drought and flood.

It is much more comfortable than the previous "Elder Demon".

Of course, there are many benefits after being promoted, and the corresponding responsibilities will be even greater, but if you encounter difficult problems, you can wait for Chu Chen, Taoist Feilong and other deputy ministers.

After the morning meeting was over, Chu Chen moved into a side courtyard of the Libu compound and officially joined the core leadership of the Libu department of the Demon Academy.

This is indeed a great event.

However, everything is difficult at the beginning.

The fifth and sixth classes of Libu were starting up, and they lacked everything, especially people, and there were very few available people.

Konggu Shanren is quite interesting.

At noon that day, he mobilized manpower from the third and fourth classes of Libu that he was in charge of, and sent them to Chu Chen.

This is because Chu Chen and Konggu Shanren have a good friendship. In addition, Chu Chen's strength has improved rapidly and his journey to immortality is great. Konggu Shanren is more willing to get close to him and take the initiative to show his favor.

Taoist Feilong was different. The manpower transferred to Chu Chen were all the crane tails of the first and second squads of Libu.

After handing over the man, Taoist Fei Long was probably secretly happy in his heart.

"Senior brother, Taoist Flying Dragon is really bad. In the future, when senior brother achieves supernatural powers, he must go to their Tianxin North and South sects to kick the restaurant, and let them know who is the authentic Tianxin."

The little ghost was jealous of evil, holding the roster in his hand, pursed his mouth, and muttered.

Chu Chen smiled, and was about to say something when a sound transmission from his spiritual sense came from his ear.

Immediately, he smiled slightly and stood up to greet her.

"Old Han!"

In a flash, Han Chen's figure appeared in the courtyard.

"Ling Xiao, congratulations!"

Han Chen cupped his hands and said congratulations, but he couldn't hide the complicated emotions on his face:

"Hey~ It's only been three years, how come you have become the deputy head of the Ministry of Liberation? Fortunately, I didn't join the Ministry of Liberation with you, otherwise you would be my boss now."

Although Han Chen said it in a joking tone, there was still some disappointment between his brows.

The former subordinate's subordinate leapt up to him, even though Han Chen was open-minded and casual, he still felt a little uncomfortable at this meeting.

When the little ghost boy heard this, he was always upright and serious, without thinking about it, he blurted out:

"Senior brother Han, what you said is wrong. Everyone belongs to the Demon Academy. Even if you are in the Zhenbu, my senior brother is also your boss. You still have to salute my senior brother."

Han Chen: "."

"Hahaha~"

"Tongyan Wuji, Lao Han, it is still a child, don't be as knowledgeable as it is."

Chu Chen smiled and pulled Han Chen to sit down in the octagonal gazebo in the courtyard, boiled water to make tea, and greeted Han Chen.

Speaking of it, Han Chen's cultivation in the past three years has been quite gratifying. Although his cultivation has not advanced to the late stage, he has great magical powers in Taoism. He defeated the strong with the weak, and killed a monster with great supernatural powers in the late stage of the fourth rank, gaining a great reputation , It can be regarded as playing a lot of prestige.

A year ago, the Elder's House of the Immortal Court Center added him as an alternate elder, and finally stepped into the Immortal Court Center with half a foot.

Han Chen took a sip of the spiritual tea produced by Di Yuanlong Palace, quite satisfied, and said:

"Ling Xiao, how does it feel to return to the Demon Academy and serve as the fourth-rank vice-minister?"

Chu Chen shook his head: "It's okay, but there are good and bad people under his command, there are three or two big cats and small cats."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, it is normal."

Han Chen smiled, knowing quite a lot about it, and said: "The troops transferred to you by the Ministry are definitely not good, and the deployment of Xianting is purely based on luck. In my opinion, you might as well transfer your former colleagues and subordinates yourself. Come to help you."

"I'm planning on doing that."

Chu Chen nodded slightly. Over the years, he has served as the head of the Taoist Academy, and has been in charge of the local government many times. He has countless disciples and old officials, and there is no shortage of contacts.

In fact, if Han Chen doesn't say anything, he will contact you later.

Han Chen saw that Chu Chen was deep in thought, with a look of calculation, maybe he guessed something, and said with a smile:

"Ling Xiao, looking at you like this, it seems that you really don't know."

Chu Chen was confused and didn't understand the meaning of Han Chen's words: "Old Han, what do you know?"

Han Chen didn't whet his appetite, and explained:

"Xuan Lingzi, Wang Ping, little monk Yuantong, Qian Sangua, Lin Miaoyin and the others transferred to the Demon Academy. You have a good friendship with them, so you can transfer them to Libu to help you."

"They also transferred to the Demon Academy?"

Chu Chen showed a look of astonishment. In the past three years, in order to avoid revealing his identity, he summoned the Dragon and Tiger Emperors to take revenge. He did not visit relatives and friends, so as not to implicate others.

Because of this, he didn't pay much attention to the current situation of his old friends.

In fact, when he was short of manpower, he immediately thought of Xuan Lingzi and Wang Ping, but he had some concerns, after all, the Demon Academy was a little more dangerous than the local ghost and god department.

But now, former friends and colleagues come to the Demon Academy, and he invites him, so he has no scruples.

That night, in Cangzhou City, Manyun Restaurant.

Chu Chen met Xuan Lingzi, Wang Ping, Monk Yuantong, Qian Sangua, Lin Miaoyin and others.

Friends and colleagues from the past gathered together, and both parties were quite emotional, which was very unexpected.

The reason why Chu Chen was surprised was because Wang Ping and the other five had honed in the wild land these years, and each of them had greatly improved their cultivation bases, breaking through to the fifth rank one after another.

Even Lin Miaoyin, who had the lowest cultivation base before, has broken through the fifth-rank Taoism, and her strength is quite impressive.

Of course, compared to Chu Chen, Xuan Lingzi and Wang Ping were the ones who were really surprised.

Seven years ago, they were shocked when they learned that Chu Chen had become one of the great supernatural powers. Now, they learned from Han Chen that Chu Chen had become a fourth-rank official and was promoted to the deputy director of the Li Department of the Demon Academy. A surprise.

Over the years, they have traveled to the local Ghost and God Department and the Demon Academy, and they have extraordinary vision and insight, so they naturally understand what it means to be the deputy head of the Eight Department of Demons.

Being qualified to be the "Deputy Minister" indicates that even among those with great supernatural powers, Chu Chen is among the top batch, and he has truly reached the pinnacle of the cultivation world with half a foot.

Perhaps the news was too shocking. Even Wang Ping, who had always been “acquainted with himself”, was a little cautious. He didn’t hook his shoulders together and call him brothers like before. He swallowed his saliva and asked:

"Ling Xiao. Do you belong to the top monks with great supernatural powers right now? What is your level among the monks with great supernatural powers?"

Xuan Lingzi, Monk Yuantong, Qian Sangua, Lin Miaoyin and others were also quite curious and all looked at Chu Chen.

Chu Chen is not a person who likes to show off his strength and show off to his friends. However, this time he is not only chatting with his friends, but also recruiting assistants. After pondering for a while, he said with a smile:

"Top-level supernatural powers can't be said, but I am worthy of anyone below the third-rank great supernatural powers!"

These words seem light and fluffy, but anyone with a little insight can hear the strong confidence revealed in them.

Han Chen couldn't help but look sideways when he heard the words, he was very surprised.

Not to mention, Wang Ping, Xuan Lingzi and the others.

Qian Sangua played with the copper coins in his hand, and said with emotion: "I still think about one day reaching the realm of great supernatural powers and catching up head-on. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up in this lifetime."

Monk Yuantong shook his head: "Amitabha, Sangua, I'm afraid you are thinking too much, maybe one day Ling Xiao will be able to fly into the sky, and you haven't broken through the supernatural power yet."

"Hahaha~"

Everyone laughed loudly when they heard the words, and there was a happy atmosphere in the private room of the restaurant.

Monk Yuantong's joke suddenly shortened the distance between everyone, as if they had returned to the days when they were working together in Guangping County, Qingzhou, and the atmosphere was quite good.

During the banquet, Chu Chen mentioned the lack of people in Libu, and asked Wang Ping and Xuan Lingzi to help him. The five of them agreed without hesitation, and they were very straightforward.

Especially Wang Ping, who was the most active, said that he came to the Demon Academy because of Chu Chen, and was just waiting for this day, shouting "If you are rich, don't forget each other" Yunyun.

After a banquet, the guests enjoyed themselves.

Wang Ping and the other five acted resolutely. After the banquet, they planned to go back to their respective ministries to apply for transfer and join Chu Chen.

The high platform of Manyun Restaurant.

The strong wind is blowing, and the clothes are rattling.

Han Chen looked at the backs of the five people leaving, looked at the city of Cangzhou with thousands of lights, and said with a smile:

"Ling Xiao, with their help, and contacting a few former colleagues, you will soon be able to gain a firm foothold in the Ministry of Li."

"Hmm~"

Chu Chen nodded slightly, with a complicated expression.

Getting together with friends is a joyous event.

At first seeing his former friends and colleagues, he was also very excited, but afterwards, he felt a little melancholy for no reason.

People are still those people.

However, for some reason, he and Wang Ping, Xuan Lingzi and others unconsciously had no topics to talk about and became estranged.

Although he talked and laughed happily during the greetings, he was full of smiles, but after parting, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely in his heart.

It is obvious that people are close in front of them, but the distance between the two sides is getting farther and farther.

For a moment, he couldn't help feeling lost!

Seeing that Chu Chen was silent, Han Chen may have guessed something, and felt a little empathetic, saying:

"Ling Xiao, the strong are destined to be lonely. Many friends in life are destined not to accompany you to the end. This is not something you can change. I used to be the same as you. The brothers who were doing homework at the same time as the teacher, one by one Being far away from me, I have fewer and fewer friends."

After finishing speaking, Han Chen sighed heavily.

In this sigh, all the vicissitudes and emotions are written.

Chu Chen looked sideways, and saw that Han Chen was touched, his eyes were full of sighs, he immediately smiled, and felt much better for a while.

After all, compared to Han Chen, he has Ying Er as his companion, so he is better than Han Chen no matter what.

After some comparison, Chu Chen felt relieved, thought of something, and asked with a smile:

"Old Han, you are looking for me today, you must have something to do, otherwise, according to your temperament, this banquet will definitely not come."

Han Chen nodded when he heard the words, maybe he remembered something, his face showed excitement:

"That's right, last time Qingyou Yaoyu relied on your blessing, I gained a lot, this time I happen to have a good thing to ask you here."
