Chapter 89 Arriving at Fenglin State, Clouds Move in All Directions
Upon hearing this, Shen Bai touched his chin and said, "Money, power, intelligence, resources, it really is worthy of being called the Tianjian Division. It has everything it needs. No wonder everyone in the martial arts world wants to join the Tianjian Division."

Qin Shuang nodded slightly, hummed softly, and said: "Just like the Qi and Blood Pills I gave you, it is the monthly standard. You don't have to make the medicine yourself. There are other pills that will be distributed."

Shen Bai nodded, indicating that he understood, and continued to ask: "Such good benefits and treatment, there is no such thing as pie in the sky, what do I need to pay for it?"

Qin Shuang thought for a moment and said, "Just complete the tasks assigned by the Tianjian Division. Aside from communicating with the officials during our inspections, the rest of the time we're responsible for dealing with weird things and quelling disturbances in the martial arts world. Small disturbances are fine, but large ones are not allowed. This is the duty of the Tianjian Division."

"Also, as long as it's within the scope of the Heavenly Supervisor's mission, anyone who interferes will be executed first and reported later. This is a special permission granted by the Emperor."

Having said that, Qin Shuang had actually said everything that needed to be said. He closed his mouth and waited for Shen Bai's answer.

Shen Bai fell into deep thought.

Qin Shuang was also waiting for Shen Bai's reply, drinking tea patiently.

About an incense stick of time later, Shen Bai knocked on the table.

Qin Shuang looked over immediately.

"I agree to join the Tianjian Division." Shen Bai said.

Just now, after careful consideration, he felt that joining the Tianjian Division would bring him great benefits.

Let’s not talk about salary for now.

The power of the Heavenly Supervisor can bring great convenience at certain times.

Shen Bai is not the protagonist in the story, and does not like to do everything by himself.

These days, having the support of the Heavenly Monitoring Bureau can help you avoid a lot of trouble.

The second is intelligence and knowledge.

Shen Bai is very lacking in knowledge, so this is a great advantage.

As for intelligence, information is extremely important these days, and those who have information have the initiative.

The last and most important point is weird.

Shen Bai needs evil spirit, which means he needs weirdness, and Jiantiansi is the closest to weirdness.

For this reason alone, Shen Bai couldn't refuse.

It's a win-win situation that allows you to complete the task and obtain evil spirits.

Qin Shuang clenched his fists excitedly when he heard Shen Bai agree. "Then we'll wait a few days before setting off. I've just had the opportunity to assess Zhou Qing during these few days. Perhaps Zhou Qing can set off with us."

Although the matter in Shengyun County has come to an end, Qin Shuang's cooperation is still needed in the follow-up.

Only after everything is handled and Zhou Qing is assessed will Qin Shuang set off for Fenglin Province.

Shen Bai nodded in agreement.

During this period of time, I will see if I can raise Shenxing Baili to level 4.

This is the last level three skill. After finishing it, Shen Bai can move on to the Vajra Subduing Demon Fist.

The matter had been basically discussed, but Shen Bai did not rest. After Qin Shuang entered the house, he started to practice the game "Shen Xing Bai Li".

The night passed quickly.

……

Time passes gradually.

In the blink of an eye, many days passed.

Some people say that memory is like the dust of the past, which will be forgotten every moment.

But for the people of Shengyun County, what happened not long ago was like a brand, deeply engraved in their minds.

They will never forget how Shopkeeper Shen, with whom they usually got along harmoniously, killed that evil woman.

I will never forget the overwhelming blood-red sword light.

After every meal, Shen Bai's deeds were like news with wings, spreading like wildfire in the streets and alleys, causing Shen Bai to be stared at with admiration for a long time whenever he went out to eat.

In recent times, the follow-up matters in Shengyun County have been almost handled.

Now, Captain Zheng is temporarily taking over the position of county magistrate and will not leave until the court arranges a new county magistrate.

The people of Shengyun County also breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Shen Bai, he has been really addicted recently.

His life became extremely regular, and every day he was obsessed with two choices: liver and eating.

Other than that, just a little rest.

In Shen Bai's own words, it was like there was a person living in the liver.

However, during this period of time, Shen Bai has gained a lot.

"call……"

In the yard, Shen Bai breathed a sigh of relief and took a Qi and Blood Pill given to him by Qin Shuang.

After taking the Qi and Blood Pill, Shen Bai felt that his Qi and blood were like a dragon and he recovered quickly.

"This thing is indeed much better than the medicine I make myself, and it doesn't require so much trouble." Shen Bai thought to himself.

In front of Shen Bai's eyes, the smoke was as mysterious as a veil, curling and gradually condensing into words, floating in the void.

【神行百里lv.4（速度+8，耐力+8，躲闪+8，幻影+8）:0/100000】

Before my eyes, the smoke condensed into words and quickly disappeared.

Shen Bai closed his eyes and carefully sensed for a moment, then absorbed all the information at once and mastered the new attributes.

"good."

Shen Bai opened his eyes and thought to himself.

After reaching level four, in addition to all existing attributes being doubled, Shen Bai also gained an additional phantom attribute.

This attribute has a very strong effect in actual combat.

In the past, after performing the "Hundred Miles Travel" technique, an afterimage would be left behind, but it would disappear quickly.

It’s different now. Every time it is used, it will leave an afterimage.

This afterimage will continue to exist unless it is attacked or Shen Bai actively removes it.

Whether attacking or dodging, it can confuse the enemy.

"This time, I should be able to enter the final stage of the Three Treasures Realm."

Shen Bai circulated the Qi in his body and felt the changes in the Qi.

After all his magical powers reached the fourth level, the Qi in Shen Bai's chest was as full as a full moon.

At this moment, a trace of Qi overflowed from the chest and finally flowed into the mind.

Shen Bai's soul was wrapped in Qi and he felt a warmth, as if he was illuminated by the morning sun.

At this moment, Shen Bai has entered the last level of the Three Treasures Realm.

"The next step is the Vajra Subduing Demon Fist." Shen Bai said secretly.

Since the Vajra Subduing Demon Fist consumes magical powers twice, it is the one with the highest proficiency at this time. Shen Bai's plan is to make the Vajra Subduing Demon Fist undergo a second qualitative change first.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai prepared to continue working on the liver.

But at this moment, the door of the pawnshop was pushed open and Qin Shuang walked in.

Shen Bai temporarily stopped his plan to improve his proficiency and asked, "Is it done?"

He thought Qin Shuang had dealt with the aftermath and could go to Fenglin State.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shuang shook his head, with an embarrassment on his face, as if he had something to say but was not sure how to say it.

Shen Bai frowned and asked, "What's going on? Is there something wrong again?"

Shen Bai could tell something was wrong from this expression.

Qin Shuang hesitated for a moment and said, "Shen Bai, Zhou Qing just told me that he doesn't want to join the Tianjian Division anymore."

In the room, Shen Bai looked puzzled after hearing Qin Shuang's voice.

"what's the situation?"

Recently, the assessment is imminent. In Qin Shuang's words, Zhou Qing's inability to enter the Tianjian Division in the previous few times was related to Zhou Qing's achievements.

After all, the assessment of the Tianshi Division is a balanced assessment.

Zhou Qing was more or less involved in the Shengyun County incident. Combined with his previous experience, it was a simple matter for him to join the Tianjian Division.

But now Qin Shuang told Shen Bai that Zhou Qing was unwilling to join the Tianjian Division, and Shen Bai couldn't understand the reason.

Qin Shuang shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Why don't you go and ask in person?"

Shen Bai touched his chin and said, "Wait for me at the pawnshop. I'll go find Lao Zhou."

Qin Shuang nodded and watched Shen Bai leave.

……

yamen.

Shen Bai's arrival surprised the constable guarding the door.

Recently, Shen Bai hardly ever leaves the house.

If they didn't know that Shen Bai was still in Shengyun County, the detectives would have thought that Shen Bai had left.

Now meeting Shen Bai again, the constable immediately walked up to him.

"Shopkeeper Shen, is there anything wrong?"

"I'm here to find Zhou Qing. You guys continue and don't worry about me."

"Then Manager Shen, please slow down."

"Ah."

After Shen Bai talked to the constable for a few words, he walked straight into the yard and went to the constable's room in the yamen.

As soon as I entered, I saw Zhou Qing packing his things.

"Old Zhou, what's going on? Why don't you join the Tianjian Division?" Shen Bai asked.

Zhou Qing didn't expect Shen Bai to come over. He put his packed bag aside and said, "I found that with my own ability, even if I joined the Tianjian Division, it would be useless."

As a series of events occurred, Zhou Qing also had his own thoughts in mind.

He felt that his strength was too low, and even if he joined the Tianjian Division, it would be of no use at all and would only cause more trouble.

Shen Bai frowned and said, "So where are you planning to go after you pack your bags?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Join the army."

Upon hearing this, Shen Bai said, "Is there any difference between joining the army and joining the Heavenly Supervisory Department?"

The Great Zhou Kingdom had an army, which was generally stationed in important cities and border areas.

Shen Bai knew that the situation in the army was different from that in the Tianjian Division. Zhou Qing organized his words and said, "Old Shen, what do you think is the point of me joining the Tianjian Division with my strength? I'm not afraid of death, but I feel that I'm just wasting a position."

Shen Bai said: "You can't say that."

Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "My purpose in joining the Tianjian Division is to contribute to this turbulent dynasty. Joining the army would have the same effect."

"In the army, at least I can kill some enemies. I also know that with my strength, it is more suitable for me to go to the army."

The starting point of the Tianshi Division is high, but the task is more difficult.

Zhou Qing was not afraid of death, he just felt that if he failed to complete the mission, he would not be able to realize his dream.

At least the threshold for joining the army is lower, and Zhou Qing can also take it step by step.

Shen Bai pondered for a long time and said, "Are you sure?"

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "Confirmed."

Shen Bai sighed: "Be careful."

Shen Bai didn't say anything extra.

As brothers, we don’t have to control everything.

Support the other party. As long as the other party does nothing wrong, you need to give firm support.

"If you can't make it, you can come to me." Shen Bai said.

Zhou Qing laughed heartily and patted Shen Bai on the shoulder: "If I do well, I will treat you well if you come to my place."

Shen Bai put his arm around Zhou Qing's shoulders and said, "Let's have a drink tonight while you finish cleaning up."

Zhou Qing agreed.

Shen Bai didn't bother to work on his proficiency anymore, so he just waited for Zhou Qing in the yamen.

After Zhou Qing packed up all his things, he went to the government office and submitted his resignation.

Only then did Shen Bai and Zhou Qing go to a restaurant outside to have a drink.

At the dinner table, everyone can talk about anything.

When Shen Bai learned that Zhou Qing was leaving today, he did not get drunk, but just had a few drinks with Zhou Qing.

It was almost afternoon when Shen Bai finally sent Zhou Qing to the carriage.

"If you have trouble getting along in the army, come find me in Maple Forest State."

Just like Zhou Qing said at the beginning, he would take care of Shen Bai even if he went to Fenglin Province, and Shen Bai said the same thing now.

"With a master brother like you, I must not be too bad."

Zhou Qing said with a smile.

Soon, the carriage started moving.

Shen Bai waited until the carriage disappeared and then returned to the Shen family pawnshop.

……

Inside the pawnshop.

Qin Shuang looked at the dim oil lamp, waiting for Shen Bai to come back.

"squeak……"

As the wooden door opened, Shen Bai pushed it open and walked in.

"Have you found out?" Qin Shuang jumped up and asked.

Shen Bai nodded and told the story of Zhou Qing.

Qin Shuang rolled his eyes and said, "When are we going to set off? How about tomorrow?"

Although Shen Bai agreed to join the Tianjian Division, Qin Shuang always felt uneasy because the matter had not been completed.

Shen Bai nodded and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to Grandma Zhang's grave to burn a stick of incense and then leave."

During this period, Shen Bai and Zhou Qing buried Grandma Zhang properly. Now they were about to leave Shengyun County, and Shen Bai wanted to burn some incense first.

Zhou Qing had already gone there before leaving, so Shen Bai naturally had to go there too.

Qin Shuang said: "Then go to bed early, we will go together tomorrow."

"You go to sleep first, I'll practice for a while." Shen Bai said.

The liver cannot stop working. You can rest, but long-term rest is not advisable.

The difference from the roll is that the liver is harvested.

Qin Shuang nodded slightly, said nothing more, and turned back to the room.

Shen Bai looked at the dark night, went to the backyard, and began to practice the Vajra Demon Subduing Fist.

……

Fenglin Prefecture, Qingyun Temple.

In the main hall filled with Taoist style, Changbai, the current abbot of Qingyun Temple, is sitting cross-legged on a cushion with a dustpan in his hand.

The abbot of Changbai Temple has white hair and beard, and has an ethereal and graceful air, as if he is an old immortal who has attained enlightenment.

The sound of footsteps interrupted the meditation of the master of Changbai Temple.

At the door, a young man in a Taoist robe walked in and bowed as a junior.

"Master, I have questioned many people in the lower tomb, and they all said that Senior Brother Xuan Qingzi died from the magic of the mechanism."

“Everyone is speaking the same language.”

"Do we need to continue asking people from Jianghu?"

The head of Changbai Monastery opened his eyes, his expression as calm as water. "What did the Heavenly Supervisor say?"

The young Taoist priest replied, "A provincial official has told us not to overdo it. If we can't get any information or evidence, we should temporarily stop. The Great Tomb is a place where strength is respected. If someone is dead, they are dead. They can't blame others."

The head of Changbai Monastery had a calm expression: "I finally got such a beloved disciple when I was so old. He was the hope for the revitalization of Qingyun Monastery, but he died. How is it different from losing a son in old age? I can't calm down."

The young Taoist priest said nothing, but lowered his head and hands.

The head of Changbai Temple continued, "I heard that there is a man named Shen Bai in Shengyun County. He is very popular and has also been to a large tomb."

The young Taoist nodded and said, "There seems to be a rumor that he is coming to Fenglin Province, but I don't know what he is going to do in Fenglin Province."

The head of Changbai Monastery said, "Let's wait for him to come to Fenglin Province and ask him. I must know the cause of Xuan Qingzi's death so that I can avenge my beloved disciple."

The young Taoist priest quickly agreed and turned to leave the main hall.

After leaving, the master of Changbai Temple let go of the dustpan he was holding.

The bottom of the dust has turned into powder.

"call……"

The abbot of Changbai Temple blew gently, and the dust turned into a cloud of green smoke.

The main hall returned to peace again.

……

An extremely hidden mountain.

At this time, a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes was holding a book and examining it carefully.

The middle-aged man had an ordinary appearance, but there was a particularly special red mole between his eyebrows, which was emitting a faint red light.

Below the middle-aged man were seven people wearing black robes whose faces could not be seen clearly.

No one spoke, waiting quietly for the middle-aged man to read.

After a moment, the middle-aged man closed the book in his hand.

"Master, none of the twelve envoys survived. They all died at the hands of Shen Bai."

Below, a man in black robe bowed.

The sect leader nodded calmly and said, "I understand."

The black-robed man hesitated slightly: "Since the establishment of the Shange Sect, we have never suffered such a loss. Sect Master, we must kill Shen Bai."

The sect leader flipped the pages of the book in boredom: "You go to kill others, and others kill you. This is normal."

The man in black robe was choked by these words.

"Elder Huo, you don't think we are the only ones who can kill others, right?"

Elder Huo showed an embarrassed look on his face: "But..."

The sect leader waved his hand and said, "Shen Bai, I won't let you go, but I really don't like your words about the Shang E Sect being invincible. Don't forget our ultimate goal."

Elder Huo's face showed a solemn expression: "Master, don't worry, I know it's all for the sake of getting in touch with the Yedao Sect."

"So, Shen Bai is our stepping stone. Just imagine, if such a strong man was killed by us, how could Ye Daomen not unite with us?"

The sect leader looked compassionate: "Actually, I admire Shen Bai's ruthlessness. It's a pity that he can only die."

These words, coupled with that look of compassion, made everyone present shudder.

The sect leader began to flip through the book again, and the red mole between his eyebrows became more and more eye-catching.

The deep mountains fell into silence, and the seven elders quickly disappeared.

……

The next day.

Fenglinzhou, as a city in the Great Zhou Kingdom, has many counties under it.

Traffic here is smooth all year round and many people come and go.

At this time, at the city gate, which was already crowded, a special group of people was waiting.

These people were dressed in Taoist robes, but there was no trace of otherworldly air on their faces. They all stared at the city gate with expressionless faces.

Many people were confused and didn't know why there were so many Taoists guarding the place.

Many people who came to watch the fun quietly observed and watched silently.

Outside the city gate, pedestrians passed by one after another, and carriages drove by one after another.

This group of Taoists seemed not to see it.

Many people watched for a while, felt bored, and quietly left the city gate.

The remaining people found a place to continue observing.

About an incense stick of time later, a slightly larger carriage entered the city gate.
