I was almost eaten at the beginning, luckily I was able to transfer the negative status

September 28, 256th year of Daqing Qigong.

Three quarters past noon.

Pingyang Prefecture, Qingliang Mountains.

In order to return to the camp as quickly as possible, Zhou Heng used the Exorcism Sword Technique several times to increase his speed. In the end, he successfully returned to the Qingliang Army camp in just about two and a half days.

Come to the logistics department.

After submitting your mission proof (remains of hemp rope) and mission experience summary.

Not long after, Qiu Bu Ru rushed to the logistics department.

in the lounge.

After personally checking and reading the mission certificate and mission experience summary, he confirmed that Zhou Heng's promotion mission had been successfully completed.

Qiu Ruru looked Zhou Heng up and down in amazement, and finally couldn't help shaking his head and sighing:

"Good boy, you completed the promotion task so well in such a short time. You are worthy of being the person that Elder Sun has chosen."

"Elder Sun?"

Zhou Heng murmured softly with a hint of doubt.

Hear his soft whisper.

Qiu Ru'er's expression suddenly changed slightly, and a hint of guilt that he had said something wrong flashed across his face inadvertently.

Then, he hurriedly put the official title token that Zhou Heng had handed over into a certain instrument, checked it for a while, and then handed the token back and said quickly:

"Captain Zhou, your official title token has been upgraded to the fourth rank.

As for the benefits and responsibilities of a fourth-rank commander in our Qingliang Army, you can check the token yourself.

Qiu has something important to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

Say it.

He left quickly as if he was escaping from his enemy's path, as if he was worried that Zhou Heng would have any further questions about the matter of Elder Sun.

See this situation.

Zhou Heng couldn't help but frown.

He held tightly in his hand the official token that confirmed his successful promotion to the rank of Fourth Rank Captain, while his mind was racing with thoughts.

"Who on earth is Elder Sun? He actually made Qiu Ruo show such an attitude.

If my guess is correct, the so-called Elder Sun is most likely the one who recruited me directly into the Qingliang Army.

In the Qingliang Army, just by accidentally letting the cat out of the bag about Elder Sun, Qiu Ruo was so scared. It can be imagined that Elder Sun was definitely not a simple person.

Could it be that... the so-called Elder Sun is a cultivator who is above a warrior?

Only a legendary immortal cultivator could frighten a nemesis who is inferior to this Fourth Rank Captain simply by carelessly mentioning his title!

Think of this.

Zhou Heng's eyes suddenly narrowed even tighter.

The so-called Elder Sun was most likely an immortal cultivator, and he was being targeted by an immortal cultivator in the Qingliang Army. He was really unsure whether this was a blessing or a curse.

The information he now knew was too little to make a perfect judgment.

“It’s such a headache!”

Zhou Heng couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.

After sighing, he put the matter aside for the time being, and then picked up the official title token to check the situation of the fourth-rank captain of the Qingliang Army.

About ten breaths later.

He put away the official token with understanding.

The duties of a fourth-rank captain in the Qingliang Army are very simple, which is to obey the arrangements of the superiors at all times and all actions must be based on the arrangements of the superiors.

As for the treatment... it's also very simple, that is, you can get 2,000 military merit points as salary every month. These 2,000 military merit points can only be used to exchange for various resources in the military camp and will not be counted into the accumulated military merit.

In addition, each thousand-man commander has his own villa dormitory and training camp, which is specially used for training the thousand-man division under the name of the thousand-man commander.

After understanding the duties and treatment of a fourth-rank commander in the Qingliang Army.

Zhou Heng no longer stayed in the logistics department and immediately left the logistics department quickly amid the flattery and greetings of many staff members.

However, after leaving the logistics department, he did not rush to move to the standard villa dormitory for a thousand households, but headed straight towards the military camp's warehouse.

In his promotion mission, completing the mission would reward him with entering the first level of the military camp's inner storehouse to select three martial arts books and borrowing spiritual weapons three times.

The so-called inner treasury of the military camp is actually an upgraded version of the military camp treasure house, which contains more precious skills and legendary spiritual weapons.

As for spiritual weapons, he currently has no plans to borrow any. His main goal is to see if there is any martial arts technique that he likes.

……

Just when Zhou Heng was heading to the military camp’s inner treasury.

In the tent of the commander-in-chief of the Qingliang Army.

Dai Yumin looked at Ouyang Jing, who had just sat down after entering the tent, and asked, "How is it?"

"It's been arranged."

Ouyang Jing smiled and nodded.

"That's good. I hope that kid can be smarter and not let us down."

Dai Yumin also had a happy smile on his face.

……

Qingliang Mountain.

In the thatched house.

"Grandpa, is there something you want me to do?"

Sun Yaozu walked slowly into the thatched hut, looked at Elder Sun who was sitting cross-legged on the cushion with a slightly worried look and asked softly.

Hear sounds.

The elder Sun, who used to have a handsome face and long black hair, but now looked old and frail with gray hair, slowly opened his drooping eyes, raised his old and dry right hand and gently waved to Sun Yaozu.

"Yaozu... come... come and sit next to Grandpa Zu."

"Yes."

Sun Yaozu did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He immediately walked quickly to Elder Sun's side and sat down on the ground. He looked up at Elder Sun obediently and with a worried look on his face, and gently held the other's arm.

"Hehehe..."

As if feeling Sun Yaozu's heartfelt concern, Elder Sun couldn't help but smile softly.

After a while.

He then stretched out his left hand, which was as old as his right hand, and gently patted Sun Yaozu's palm on his arm.

"My dear grandson...don't worry, Grandpa is fine.

I called you here today because Grandpa is going to be in seclusion for a while, so I have something to tell you."

"Grandpa, you..."

"Be good, listen to me first."

"Yes……"

"Grandpa's retreat this time could last for several years or just a few days.

In two days, Qing Yunxi will hold a ceremony to abdicate and offer sacrifices to heaven.

Regardless of whether Qing Yunxi can successfully abdicate this time, there will definitely be a war between the Great Qing Empire and the three surrounding countries.

At that time, war will break out and human nature will be in chaos. It will be the best time for those of us who are practicing to reap human nature.

The more entangled you are with this chaos, the more humanity you will harvest, and the greater the possibility of your own death.

The accumulation of human nature is related to the difficulty of walking on the road of cultivating immortals. My dear grandson, your grandpa named you Yaozu because he hopes that you can go further than me on this road of cultivating immortals, and become a human immortal in the realm of refining emptiness and merging with the Tao, or even a true immortal who can gather the three flowers at the top of the head.

Therefore, you must participate in this great turmoil in the mortal world, and it would be best if you could..."
