Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 70 (Chapter 69): The Sky Patrol Division (Seeking first subscriptions and monthly votes)
“We will send our professionals to verify this. No one can fool the War Merit Statistics Bureau. If we find out that you are lying and falsifying mission records to obtain war merits, that is a serious crime, and you will be tried in the military court. I think you are young, and if you have done something wrong, it is not too late to take it back now. I can turn a blind eye.”

Young officials, especially those newly appointed to local positions in unfamiliar territories, are bound to be full of enthusiasm, and it's understandable that their work may be tinged with personal idealism.

Perhaps he has only recently graduated from a Taoist academy, passed the civil service exam, and is on official business outside his area, so his experience is limited.

Li Chunfeng forgave him, after all, he had never met any geniuses.

He said expressionlessly, "If you verify it too late, and the Bone Spirit Legion in other places fills the gaps again, delaying the subsequent arrangements, then I will not accept it."

"Oh ho, still trying to deny it. Don't worry, once the Nightmare Knight Legion is stationed in a certain place, it can't be easily mobilized. If it's fake, you can't deny it even if you want to."

These words clearly implied that Li Chunfeng was a delinquent youth who was trying to gain military merits by deceiving others.

Li Chunfeng pressed further, "How long will it take to confirm?"

The young official, feeling he had done all he could, said somewhat impatiently, "The results should be available in three days at the latest. Go back and wait."

Li Chunfeng turned and left.

"What happened?"

At that moment, a man wearing a black uniform with silver trim walked over. His uniform was embroidered with three winged bears.

Because of his smart uniform, Li Chunfeng stopped for a moment.

When the young statistics official saw the visitor, his pupils contracted slightly, but remembering that he was on the side of justice, he straightened his back and enthusiastically recounted the events to him.

The man's name was Su Bai. His incredibly handsome uniform was no ordinary outfit; it was a complete set of spirit-grade robes, and on the back was the name of the powerful agency, the Sky Patrol Division's Flying Bear Camp.

The Celestial Patrol Office is a dedicated agency responsible for patrolling the world on behalf of the Celestial Court, and is directly under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Palace.

The three winged bears embroidered on his uniform are a symbol of his identity.

Commander, a sixth-rank official.

The fact that this person appeared in Canyon City clearly indicates that he has a special mission and his identity is far from simple.

After listening to the young official's account, Su Bai noticed that Li Chunfeng remained calm throughout. He glanced at the nine-lived cat demon perched on Li Chunfeng's shoulder, then discreetly glanced at his wide sleeves, and said, "It's nothing serious. Just have someone come with me to the mission site to confirm it. Unfounded speculation won't solve anything. If what he said is true, your questioning is just a case of good intentions gone wrong, needlessly damaging everyone's enthusiasm."

"Yes Yes."

The young official's smile was somewhat forced. "Then I'll trouble you, sir. I'll immediately notify the verification personnel to accompany you on your journey."

Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Li Chunfeng simply left.

Arriving at the nearby commercial street, they randomly chose the largest store and sold off a large amount of their spoils, keeping only a small amount of soul crystals for Ran Deng to enjoy.

He spent over 200,000 Dao power to purchase a spirit-grade Sumeru ring with an internal space of 100 cubic meters.

"Brother Yun".

With a call, a cloud spirit, condensed into a ball, flew out from his sleeve, circled him three times, and then carried him back to the Underworld Corridor.

This time there was enough space, so we packed up all the hidden artifacts and equipment and took them with us.

Back on the main commercial street, we repeated the same process.

Because of the recent surge in the trading volume of ghost artifacts, the purchase price has dropped significantly. As a result, after all the hard work Li Chunfeng put in to kill so many bone spirits, after deducting the money spent on purchasing the spirit artifact Sumeru Ring, he only made a profit of less than 6 Dao merits.

The acquisition price also takes into account the influence of the Celestial Court's laws; otherwise, it would have been even lower.

"Damn profiteers... Making money is so hard."

Spending money is fun for a moment, but you only realize how hard it is to earn money after working hard and toiling away.

Fortunately, there was still the reward of military merit.

Just as he was about to continue accepting missions, he suddenly received a call from the mission hall, asking him to come over.

"So fast?" Upon arriving at the mission hall, I could see the Sky Patrol Commander in his silver-trimmed black flying bear uniform standing at the entrance.

Li Chunfeng didn't go into the hall, but walked straight to him. "Did you want to see me?"

Su Bai smiled. "It was the mission hall that called you. Why do you think it was me seeing you?"

Li Chunfeng didn't say anything, just stared at him expressionlessly.

He wasn't good at handling interpersonal relationships, but fortunately, he was still a naive young man, so what did it matter if he was a little awkward?

Su Bai shrugged. "Alright, kids these days are really not cute. I'm the one looking for you. Your mission is fine, and your battle merits will be issued soon. Let me introduce myself. My name is Su Bai, and I belong to the Flying Bear Camp of the Celestial Patrol Division. I currently serve as the commander. This is my identity token. Enter this string of identity commands, and you can find my basic information on the Celestial Patrol Division's official website."

Li Chunfeng glanced at the token with his 'insight'.

[Sky Patrol Sword Token: A first-tier Earthly Fiend magic weapon, containing nine layers of Earthly Fiend restrictions. Characteristics: Protection, Detection, Recording, Soul Contract. A symbol of the Sky Patrol Commander's status, subordinate to the Flying Bear Camp!]

Showing sincerity indicates a hidden agenda.

He memorized the identification information code but did not verify it on the spot.

"How about we find somewhere to talk?"

"it is good."

The two sat down at a nearby teahouse.

After taking a sip of tea, Su Bai cut to the chase without further ado: "Li Chunfeng, do you want to join the Sky Patrol Division?"

Li Chunfeng was slightly taken aback. "Is joining the Sky Patrol Division that simple?"

Su Bai laughed and said, "That's not simple. The Sky Patrol Division is not a place that just anyone can join. Ordinary people can't even find the threshold to step into it."

“I just went to the Yinhe East Crossing Corridor and found that the battle traces on the scene were very uniform, as if they were caused by a single fire spell. Moreover, the bombing range was so wide, with broken bones and corpses everywhere. The battle coverage almost encompassed all the key roads of the East Crossing Corridor, which made me curious about you. So I specifically pulled up your information... Don't misunderstand, this is within my authority and within the scope of my official duties.”

Li Chunfeng remained expressionless and shrugged.

Su Bai didn't get the expected emotional response from his face, but instead became more interested in him. "Your background is very clear. You are a descendant of heroes, and all your elders died in the interdimensional war against the demon race. Before the age of sixteen, your life was quite ordinary. It was only when your sixteenth birthday was approaching that you finally awakened your divine aperture and caused a celestial phenomenon."

"Your innate nine soul apertures are merely your initial capital for cultivation. However, after only one month of cultivation, you successfully manifested the God Tribulation Ranking during your first Abyss Tribulation, earning your name on the God Ranking. This is something that a nine-soul-aperture physique cannot provide. Now, with less than half a year of cultivation, you have already reached the Perfection of the God Realm, further proving that you are quite skilled in cultivation."

"A genius like you wouldn't be missed by any department."

"If you are interested in joining the Celestial Patrol Bureau, I can be your recommender and give you a position as a trainee inspector. Of course, a trainee inspector is only a candidate for the Celestial Patrol Bureau. After passing the examination, you will have to become a full-fledged inspector and enjoy the benefits and treatment of a ninth-rank official of the Celestial Court. No one can skip this procedure. But crossing the threshold into the Celestial Patrol Bureau is very important. Do you understand?"

Li Chunfeng nodded.

I took another sip of tea. It was a spiritual tea, and the tea was full of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but it didn't have much flavor.

He didn't know much about tea, but he felt that the expensive spiritual tea sold in this teahouse was far inferior to the spiritual tea brewed by An Ruoxi.

"Thank you for your consideration, but I still need to go back to take the entrance exam..."

Well, it's just that suddenly, it's now available.

It was only recently featured on the main page, and I thought I'd have to wait until the weekend, so I wasn't prepared at all. According to the plan, I was supposed to update for a few more days, at least to build up some manuscript. Because I was busy with dragon lantern activities during the Lantern Festival and missed two days, I only updated one chapter on those two days. I made up for it later, but it seems I'm still missing one chapter. Plans can't keep up with changes; I received a notification from the editor last night that it has to be published today, and now it's too late to do anything.

This book has come to this point. Thank you all for your support, and thank you to editor Wutong for her assistance.

Currently, the protagonist, Li Chunfeng, is about to advance to the Burning Lamp Realm.

The early stages mostly involve solitary cultivation, but the story gradually unfolds after the protagonist reaches the Burning Lamp Realm. The world's background will also be gradually developed. The story is quite long and cannot be completed in a single day.

Xiao Jian is not a novice, so he won't pretend to be one. He knows that the most important thing in online novel creation is not a burst of inspiration, but persistent dedication.

I hope this book can accompany everyone for a very, very long time.

I'm asking for a first subscription and a monthly pass!
