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

Chapter 71: The End of Cultivation is a Government Job (Seeking first subscriptions and monthly votes!)
"clear."

Su Bai smiled and said, "This won't delay things. Even among the students of the three major academies, many are employed in the Sky Patrol Division. The Sky Patrol Division has immense power, flexible missions, and its own talent training program. The earlier you join, the sooner you accumulate experience, which will be more beneficial for future promotions and salary increases."

As he spoke, he feigned a friendly demeanor and said, "Let me tell you a secret that the outside world doesn't know. Some precious cultivation resources have priority purchase rights within the departments directly under the Celestial Court. For example, the Divine Embryo Pill, which is impossible for the outside world to circulate, is not difficult to obtain within the Celestial Patrol Division."

Li Chunfeng put down his teacup. “With great power comes great responsibility. My cultivation is still low, my training time is short, and I know very little. I’m afraid I can’t shoulder this heavy responsibility.”

Su Bai understood and wasn't in a hurry to persuade him further. "I know you have concerns. After all, the Sky Patrol Division isn't like other functional departments, and there isn't much information circulating online. I can send you some basic information about the Sky Patrol Division, its benefits, etc., for your reference. It's not too late to make a decision after you've thought it through carefully."

"As the commander of the Flying Bear Camp, I have the authority to directly appoint three patrol officers and flag bearers. As long as you pass the assessment and become a full-fledged officer, I can give you a promotion and a raise. Think it over carefully."

Immediately, Li Chunfeng's phone started ringing.

Su Bai smiled and said, "Let's exchange contact information. You can contact me anytime when you've thought it through. I've been in Canyon City lately."

"Okay, thank you for the tea."

Li Chunfeng bowed slightly politely and left decisively.

This only made Su Bai admire him even more.

Unlike Li Chunfeng, who was born an orphan, Su Bai, from a prominent family, had been exposed to the world from a young age and was well-informed. Although he was a newcomer and only a seventh-rank commander, he had some discernment and vaguely sensed that Li Chunfeng was extraordinary, which was why he was willing to place his bet on him.

Moreover, Su Bai knew that once you've identified a promising investment opportunity, you have to have a long-term vision and make a significant investment before the person gains power. Otherwise, if Li Chunfeng were to actually rise to prominence one day, he might not even be interested in the mere position of patrol officer or flag bearer.

Thinking of this, he casually tossed out a token.

Li Chunfeng turned to look at him, and the token hovered in front of his eyes and stopped.

"This is the token of the trainee inspector. With this token, you will have certain priority in accepting tasks, and the task review process will be faster. Because of this token, the auditing department will give your task evaluation a high score. Whether you agree or not, you can keep this token indefinitely."

After thinking about it, Li Chunfeng accepted the token.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Su Bai smiled and watched Li Chunfeng leave.

After his friend accepted the request, he immediately took out his phone and sent Li Chunfeng the basic information of the Sky Patrol Division. At the same time, he also selected a batch of good tasks and recommended them to Li Chunfeng.

After leaving the teahouse, Li Chunfeng did not delay his plans.

Continue to accept suitable missions and earn battle merits.

Because he had the Nine-Lives Cat Demon and the White Cloud Demon Spirit to run around, he became bolder when accepting missions, and occasionally he would even take on Tier 3 missions.

We can't let Sister An's good intentions go to waste.

As for the Sky Patrol Division, just as Su Bai said, the benefits and treatment are so good that ordinary people would question their existence.

To attract talent, the Ghost Realm has released many rare items that can only be exchanged for battle merits, a rare opportunity for ordinary people. However, within the Sky Patrol Division, these items can be obtained at prices far lower than those available in the market through their internal merit system.

The more this was the case, the less confident Li Chunfeng became.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. He can't just sell himself off based on Su Bai's one-sided story and some welfare information.

When you're away from home, you earn your own identity.

The ultimate goal of cultivating immortality is becoming a government official.

In the mortal realm under the rule of the Celestial Court, joining a functional department is the best choice. He can't very well go and apply for a job at a company after graduation and work for someone else.

Even if you want to sell it, you have to wait until you successfully make it onto the Qingyun List or get into the Imperial Academy before you can sell it.

He believed that if the Sky Patrol Division had still been interested in him at that time, he could have sold him for a much better price. His only wish now was to complete the 'Hundred Days of Soul Nurturing' as soon as possible.

My daily schedule is packed.

Various spells and martial arts skills improved rapidly through practical combat, especially the [Phantom Charge], which Li Chunfeng used almost as a daily travel tool, and his proficiency improved at an astonishing pace.

The days passed by amidst fighting and killing.

In a flash, three months passed.

With the daily nourishment of a large amount of divine soul power, the hundred-day soul nurturing process is progressing faster than expected.

He was only one step away from becoming a recluse in the Burning Lamp Realm.

The quest hall in Canyon City sees countless people coming and going every day, completing various tasks, yet the quests in Canyon City seem endless. The official release of valuable resources is increasing, and the abundance of quests is attracting cultivators from many nearby cities.

Canyon City has undergone tremendous changes recently, with the city walls being rebuilt and several high-level quests targeting array masters being issued.

The city walls were raised and thickened considerably, transforming it into an impregnable fortress.

The atmosphere in the city did not become more stable despite the reinforcement of the city walls; instead, it became increasingly tense, with even the Yuan Shen warships being deployed several times. Troops were constantly quietly converging into the canyon city, all indicating that something big was about to happen.

The shadow of war looms.

Even the slowest person can sense something unusual in the daily lives of those around them.

"Once the war breaks out again, we will not be able to enter Yuan City."

Li Chunfeng also wondered if he should take this opportunity to leave the center of this vortex.

Reason told him that it was best to leave as soon as possible; safety came first.

"I am currently in the critical period of nurturing my soul for a hundred days. My three tribulations are about to begin. The most important thing right now is to ignite the soul lamp and overcome the three tribulations. I am a genius, and I have a bright future. If a genius dies tragically in his infancy, even Buddha will shed tears."

Despite having a thousand reasons to leave, he did nothing.

From both a psychological and practical standpoint, leaving at this point is not a wise choice.

He was just a sixteen-year-old boy, and even if he left, no one would say anything. But if anyone paid attention to him, it wouldn't be hard to know the choice he made at that moment.

In an era where everyone is a soldier, being willing to participate in combat has become politically correct.

In more serious cases, it might even leave a significant mark on his life story.

It might affect my chances of getting into the Imperial Academy.

Li Chunfeng was usually steady and cautious in his actions. If it were just about personal gain, he would have fled long ago. However, when faced with matters of principle, he felt that the "way of survival" was not applicable to deserting on the battlefield.

—I only wish for a single thought to be clear.

In fact, a large number of martial artists and cultivators also prefer to fight on the battlefield, tempering their martial will and spiritual will through the trials of blood and fire. The Earthly Realm is in a precarious situation, and in order to survive, all those with wisdom in the world should strive to be the first to act.

Moreover, Li Chunfeng was still short of some battle merits before he could exchange for a 'Emperor's Elixir' that he desired.

With the 'Emperor's Dew', the assimilation level of the soul can be brought below the safety valve.

At this moment, Ran Deng's soul path has made great progress. He is just waiting for Li Chunfeng to advance so that he can open up his realm and step into the third stage.

When the system of giving back to the people is restarted, Li Chunfeng will undoubtedly reap enormous benefits.
