When Lin Feng left the Demon Purging Division Reserve Camp, his heart was brimming with delight!
"The Demon Purging Division's benefits are truly excellent!"
Recalling the little banner officer's introduction, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise!
Those in the Skin Refining Realm and Bone Forging Realm were low-level trainees.
A monthly salary of five taels was enough to support a household of more than ten people!
More importantly, meals were fully covered. There was meat at every meal, and every three days, they even received food supplemented with medicinal cuisine!
In addition, a medicinal bath was provided once every month to aid cultivation!
If one could advance to the Tendon Strengthening Realm, the benefits would double!
Still, there was some pressure. After all, one had to advance to the Blood Change Realm within five years!
Otherwise, he would become like the other senior trainees, remaining a trainee for the rest of his life.
He would never become part of the official establishment.
Though these benefits were considered quite good in Kaiyang County,
compared with those little banner officers, they were as far apart as heaven and earth!
Although a little banner officer was the lowest-ranking position in the entire Demon Purging Division,
among trainees, they were still masters!
Even if some senior trainees advanced to the Marrow Cleansing Realm and had a higher cultivation realm than them, they still could not compare!
Senior trainees represented poor aptitude, while little banner officers had good aptitude. Who knew when they might advance to Internal Strength and become a chief banner officer like Huang Qiong!
"Though I'll have to face Monsters head-on, at least there's hope!
And does being a commoner mean I won't have to face Monsters?"
Lin Feng thought to himself.
"I really wonder how wonderful it would be to become a Hundred Household Officer! One person overseeing an entire reserve camp!
A sixth-rank official, with a rank even higher than the seventh-rank County Magistrate!
Within Kaiyang County, he could simply do whatever he pleased!"
Rarely, Lin Feng allowed himself to fantasize about a better life in the future!
"But right now, the most important thing is bringing Mother and Little Sister to settle in the Outer City, or even the Inner City.
Though I do not have enough money to buy a place yet, I can at least rent one first!
I'll have A Yu move in too.
Once I save up two hundred taels, I can buy a house and truly put down roots within the city!"
Before he knew it, Lin Feng had arrived at the Slaughterhouse.
The Demon Purging Division's main duty was cultivation.
They also had to go exterminate Monsters whenever Monsters appeared.
Thus, their time was relatively flexible.
Some trainees lacked cultivation resources, so they took on side jobs, such as teaching martial arts, to earn extra silver for cultivation.
Therefore, Lin Feng could completely rise early, finish his work at the Slaughterhouse, and then go to the Demon Purging Division.
At least two enhancement points a day were still very important to him!
Drops of water wore through stone!
Since Lin Feng had already raised the Butcher Ding's Ox-Slicing blade technique to Great Perfection, if he wished, he could finish all the tasks in a quarter of an hour.
But to avoid standing out too much, he still kept the time within half an hour!
This left Old Wu San and the others utterly astounded!
Lin Feng looked just like a precise slaughtering machine, without a single superfluous cut!
This also made Old Wu San and the others happy. Once the work was done, he and the other laborers could get off early as well.
Thus, they gave Lin Feng some extra monthly pay, along with scraps such as pig offal!
No one ever complained about having too much money!
After thanking Old Wu San, Lin Feng carried his things and returned home!
It was noon at the time.
Mother Lin had already prepared the meal.
No longer having to work for others, she had not yet adjusted to it. In the morning, she had brought Lin Man into the room to do some needlework for others!
But now, she looked deeply troubled, constantly glancing outside.
"Mother, don't worry. Big Brother will definitely get into the Demon Purging Division!"
Seeing her mother worry, Lin Man comforted her.
"It's the Demon Purging Division!"
Mother Lin was so annoyed by Lin Man's words that she laughed!
She rubbed the little girl's head!
"Yes, yes, the Demon Purging Division. Big Brother will definitely get in!"
Lin Man said earnestly.
"Oh? How do you know?"
"I dreamed it! Big Brother got into the Demon Purging Division and brought me lots and lots of candied hawthorns to eat!"
Lin Man said.
Mother Lin: "..."
"Mother, Little Sister! I'm back!"
Just as Mother Lin was speechless, Lin Feng walked through the door and called out.
"How did it go?"
The moment Mother Lin saw Lin Feng return, she hurriedly asked!
Lin Man followed her outside too, looking to see whether Lin Feng had candied hawthorns in his hands.
When she saw none, her little face immediately fell.
"Big Brother, didn't you get into the Demon Purging Division?"
Lin Feng rubbed Lin Man's head.
"It's the Demon Purging Division!
Why would you think I didn't get in? I got in! We're moving into the city now!"
"Mother, I got into the Demon Purging Division!"
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!"
Mother Lin wept with joy! This time, she did not wipe away her tears!
Her son had truly made something of himself!
If his father knew, how happy would he be!
"Mother, this is a good thing! Don't cry!"
Lin Feng gently wiped away his mother's tears, his own heart filled with complicated emotions.
If not for the Zhao Family's help, it was hard to say whether he could have gotten in this time!
"Big Brother, you didn't bring candied hawthorns, so I thought you hadn't gotten in!"
Lin Man said at that moment.
Lin Feng was somewhat baffled, but after hearing about her dream, he could not help but laugh!
This little fellow seemed to have awakened the traits of a foodie.
Lin Yu had woken up and gone out to handle matters. Having just taken over the territory, there was still much to deal with!
Afterward, the family ate together.
At that moment, a burst of commotion sounded outside.
Butcher Zhu's family had returned!
"Old Zhu, so this is Young Master Xu!
Young Master Xu truly comes from wealth and nobility! His riches practically shine in one's face!
Your Cui'er is truly fortunate to have married Young Master Xu.
Now that you're moving into the city, you won't be coming back, will you?"
"That's right, Old Zhu. A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Don't forget us neighbors in the future!"
Outside, Xu Xiong had brought several people, along with Butcher Zhu's family, back here in grand style to help Butcher Zhu move.
The many neighbors gathered around, endlessly showering them with flattery.
"Haha, Cui'er's family thanks all our neighbors for looking after us. This money is for everyone!"
Xu Xiong scattered a handful of copper coins.
The neighbors began scrambling for them.
Uncle Niu even threw away his crutch, sprawled on the ground, and kept stuffing copper coins into his bosom.
Seeing everyone act this way, Xu Xiong laughed happily!
Though he was crippled, weren't these able-bodied people still scrambling like dogs before him for the things he had thrown away!
It gave him a twisted thrill of pleasure!
And as Zhu Cui'er watched Xu Xiong's manner, she too looked proud to share in his glory.
At last, she had risen from a commoner and become one of the upper class!
It was fortunate she had made the right choice back then. If she had followed Lin Feng, could she possibly have lived such a luxurious life?
The answer was absolutely not!
As Xu Xiong watched everyone scramble for the coins, he kept glancing toward Lin Feng's door.
The most important reason he had chosen to come to the Shantytown today was to see Lin Feng with his hands and feet broken, his household destroyed and family dead!
His second uncle had given the order the day before yesterday. Lin Feng had probably been beaten yesterday into a cripple even more useless than himself!
At the thought of Lin Feng looking like a dead dog, he smiled even more happily!
He scattered another handful of copper coins, setting off another mad scramble.
At that moment, Lin Feng's family came outside!
