Sword Tooth

Jing Qian stared at the Li Dragon for a long time!

With the help of Worldly Understanding, he realized that this dragon-python had already been refined into a strange Spiritual Opportunity!

And this was the first Spiritual Opportunity he had ever seen.

Among the knowledge he possessed, information about Spiritual Opportunities was extremely scarce.

He only knew that the so-called Spiritual Opportunity was a high-level power that only cultivators in the seventh-grade Prolonging Life realm would come into contact with.

And subduing a Spiritual Opportunity was also a necessary path to advance to the sixth-grade Subduing Spirits realm.

At this moment, Jing Qian could not imagine what kind of powerful force could control this Li Dragon.

He was still too far away from that realm!

While he was in a daze, Tao Yong walked in from outside the courtyard.

Seeing Jing Qian, he immediately said:

"You finally decided to come out, kid. You used up quite a bit of the vital energy stored by our Education Directorate."

"Your successful advancement can be considered a lifeline for the Jing Family."

"However, your family has a lot of good things, and many people are coveting them. You still need to work harder and cultivate properly."

Saying that, he handed Jing Qian a small purple token, and continued:

"This is the official token of the government office. With this token, you are considered a true member of the government office."

Jing Qian, who had successfully passed the civil service exam, reached out and took it. He saw a purple spiritual light flash on the token and disappear, and couldn't help but say:

"Is this made from Li Dragon scales?"

Tao Yong replied:

"You have good eyes, kid!"

"The tokens of our government office members are all made from the scales of sixth-grade Li Dragons."

"Holding this item, when you are at sea, ordinary demonic beasts won't dare to approach!"

"You are the ninety-seventh official cultivator in our government office. Every three years, you can receive a Destiny Fire to nourish your body. This is the best treatment among all the Destiny Islands in the entire Hun Zhou, and an opportunity that many people can only dream of. You need to seize it well."

Jing Qian touched the token and nodded without speaking.

The official position in this government office was indeed as Tao Yong said, fiercely competitive and priceless.

Out of a million people, only one would get it, at least equivalent to a deputy department head.

That Jing Ran had racked her brains to get an official position for protection, but she couldn't even get close.

But as soon as Jing Qian inherited Jing Chuan's legacy, his status immediately broke through.

This was destiny!

Then, he heard Tao Yong say again:

"Given your background, you should naturally work in the Maritime Affairs Office."

"Steward Qian Yuan has also formally proposed to Landlord Zhu to take you under his wing."

"However, you have just been promoted to [Determining Destiny] and still have a year of leave to properly organize your cultivation. There's no need to rush to report to Qian Yuan."

Jing Qian nodded immediately and then asked:

"I have just been promoted and understand nothing. I must thank Steward Tao for his guidance."

"Furthermore, Landlord Zhu once said that after I enter the Dao, I should find the Education Directorate to receive a new inheritance. Please teach me, Steward Tao."

"Come with me!"

The two, one after the other, left the courtyard.

Jing Qian looked back again. Under [Worldly Understanding], the aura of all [Destiny Hearths] was completely exposed.

The seven [Destiny Hearths], densely wrapped in numerous restrictions, were deeply bound to the [Li Dragon] beneath their feet.

Between them, [Destiny Essence] and magic power circulated, forming a clever and stable structure.

This was quite an eye-opener for Jing Qian and worth using [Worldly Understanding] to record everything he could see.

Only then did he follow Tao Yong to a study in the adjacent room.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this study was dilapidated, with only one bookshelf holding over twenty old books.

But in the eyes of [Worldly Understanding], the room was filled with flashing magical light, and every old book was also covered in restrictions.

Tao Yong walked up to the bookshelf and said:

"Our remote military prefecture doesn't have a rich treasury, only less than thirty [Destiny Constitution] inheritances."

"And you can only choose from fourteen [White Fang] inheritances."

"Don't look down on the low rank of these [Destiny Constitutions]. Those that can enter our government office's secret vault are all rare [Destiny Constitutions] with unique properties and no side effects, enough to enrich your Jing Family inheritance."

"Here is the list of fourteen inheritances. Take a look and choose."

Jing Qian reached out and took it, carefully reading through it.

Ever since he figured out how to use [Destiny Forging Opportunity], he had placed more importance on the refining methods for [Destiny Constitution] of the [White Fang] rank.

He could fully understand this from [Tide].

A [White Fang] Destiny Constitution with excellent performance and a low refining threshold could utilize the characteristics of [Destiny Forging Opportunity] at a lower cost.

While smoothing out his strength growth curve, it still guaranteed a very high upper limit.

Among the fourteen inheritances, those belonging to Lifeform Destiny accounted for more than half, totaling eight.

These [Destiny Constitutions] focused on the strengthening and tempering of the physical body, lacking flexibility and sharpness. They were not compatible with Jing Qian's system, and the materials required for refining were also quite restrictive, so he skipped them directly.

There were only four belonging to God-Ghost Destiny, a significant decrease in number.

Jing Qian observed carefully and found that although these four [Destiny Constitutions] had strange and highly potential powers, the precious medicines required for refining were quite rare, and the cost of refining was much higher.

If he only refined it once, it wouldn't be unbearably painful, but if he wanted to use [Destiny Forging Opportunity] to greatly upgrade it, the cost would be unbearable.

Looking further down, there was one each for Mountain-Sea Destiny and Spiritual Treasure Destiny, the rarest in number.

As for the Mountain-Sea Destiny corresponding to the [Tide] Destiny Constitution, Jing Qian had already mastered it and refined it quite deeply, so there was no need to elaborate.

However, the last Spiritual Treasure Destiny listed immediately stirred Jing Qian's emotions the moment he saw it:

[Sword Tooth]

[Rank: White Fang]

[Melting copper and sharpening gold, tempered by a thousand trials!]

He made his decision almost instantly.

Jing Qian spoke, saying:

"Steward Tao, I choose this [Sword Tooth] Destiny Constitution."

Tao Yong maintained an objective and neutral attitude, not actively guiding or influencing Jing Qian's choice, leaving it entirely up to him.

He walked to the bookshelf, searched through it, took out a bronze plaque, and handed it to Jing Qian, then continued:

"This [Sword Tooth] Destiny Constitution also has some history. It was left by a swordsman who traveled here from an upper continent forty years ago."

"He exchanged this [Sword Tooth] Destiny Constitution inheritance for an eighth-grade Dragon Boat and sailed out to sea on his own."

"The performance of this [Sword Tooth] is quite good, sharp enough, incisive enough, and easy to refine."

"The only drawback is that it's too short, which is not conducive to major combat."

"However, utilizing its sharp characteristic, it's extremely suitable for skinning and making armor, and even for sewing and weaving clothes."

"Almost all master craftsmen in the Craftsmen Directorate will refine a [Sword Tooth] to serve as their own tool."

"If you are interested in learning one of the four major logistics professions, choosing this [Sword Tooth] is quite appropriate."

Jing Qian looked at the bronze plaque in his hand and didn't say much. In Tao Yong's mind, this [Sword Tooth] was a production tool not suitable for combat.

But in his eyes, this was a core component to supplement the shortcomings of his system!
