Confucian-robed middle-aged man continued, "That was seven or eight years ago. To this day, no one knows how far his cultivation has grown, but no one dares to take on this task anymore. So much so that the number of Merit Points who have been tasked with killing Peach Blossom Demon has actually reached thousands of Merit Points. This is a jaw-dropping number."
Xu Yi wondered, "Thousands of Merit Points, is that really that much?"
Taking on a mission for the first time, he didn't even have time to understand the meaning of Merit Points behind the mission in detail.
Confucian-robed middle-aged man was already used to Xu Yi's ignorance, so he said separately, "Do you know the saying of accumulating merit over time?"
Xu Yi said, "I do know that, as the name suggests, promotion is obtained by accumulating years and merit."
Confucian-robed middle-aged man said, "Wrong! It's not in exchange for promotion, but in exchange for Merit Points. After accumulating merit over time, what you get in exchange is Merit Points, Only through the accumulation of Merit Points can you be exchanged for promotion. Take the newly promoted Steward Feng, for example, he has achieved his current position by accumulating Merit Points step by step by accumulating small efforts over the years."
"I am Northern Sacred Court Fifteen Ranks of Five Revolutions. I am Star Official if I am above three stars. I am a star official if I am three stars or below. I am First Turn if I am a third-level star official. Within one turn, the Merit Points required for each small level of progress is only one thousand Merit Points."
Xu Yi was shocked. Only then did he realize that these thousands of Merit Points were so valuable, and his heart suddenly agitated.
After encountering the trap of Feng Ting Shu and being awarded such a task, he did not have any despair at all. He just wanted to move forward bravely. Now that he received such news, he felt that it was a blessing and a disaster. He immediately said, "According to what you said, if I get these one thousand Merit Points, I can be promoted to a one-star official!"
Confucian-robed middle-aged man laughed dumbly and said, "Feng Ting Shu has spent nearly thirty years to get to where it is now. You think you can smooth it all out with just one miraculous feat of yours. Of course, that's not to say that these thousand Merit Points are not heavy, on the contrary, they are extremely heavy. With these one thousand Merit Points, you can directly jump from the first-level sect to the second-level sect, avoiding more than ten years of hardship, and you can also get another weapon exchange reward. This time, the one you unlock is Second-level Armory, which is simply incomparable to First-level Armory."
"The most important point is that with these one thousand Merit Points, you can surpass many long-standing second-level sect leaders and be eligible to be directly assigned a position in the government. Once you receive a position, although you are not as noble as a star official, you are still an official in the government. If you have a good relationship with the top and have a backer, even Feng Ting Shu will not be able to handle you so easily."
After finishing his words, Confucian-robed middle-aged man suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart: Why do I talk to him so much, why do I feel that he will definitely succeed? How can a long-standing demon that so many people can't do anything about can be wiped out by a newly promoted first-level leader?
Xu Yi I don't know what Confucian-robed middle-aged man thinks or thinks. It's really not that simple to become a star official. However, just to save more than ten years of suffering, the hard work is worth it.
After clearing the doubts in his heart, Xu Yi threw out three spiritual stones, lined them up on the table, and was about to say goodbye.
Confucian-robed middle-aged man said, "You should deposit Martial Edict into Ink Tower, and come back to collect it on the day of success."
Xu Yi asked why, but Confucian-robed middle-aged man said he knew it at the time.
Xu Yi immediately understood that it must be related to Feng Ting Shu. Maybe Feng Ting Shu would have a way to determine his position through Martial Edict.
As for Ink Tower, Xu Yi is known to be a public storage place. Martial Edict is not a treasure. There is no need to worry about it being stored there. Just keep the receipt.
Xu Yi thanked him again and said goodbye. He waved his hand before Confucian-robed middle-aged man, and three spiritual stones appeared again on the case in front of Confucian-robed middle-aged man.
Confucian-robed middle-aged man stared at the spirit stone on the case and felt guilty in his heart. He really didn't expect that this guy could do this at this time. With a thought in his mind, he said to Xu Yi who was about to go out, "Before going to Ink Tower, go to the White Building first. With Martial Edict who has received the mission, you can exchange resources in the White Building."
Xu Yi thanked me again and went out without looking back.
Xu Yi just went there, Confucian-robed middle-aged man got up and left the hall. After half a stick of incense, he appeared in another courtyard with a green flower garden Grass Ring.
Feng Ting Shu was dressed in a green robe, with a ray of gold on his chest, glowing with an unstoppable light in the faint sunlight.
"Is everything done?"
Feng Ting Shu, who was leaning on a soft couch, said in a voice transmission.
"It's done!"
Confucian-robed middle-aged man's voice transmission said, maybe the voice transmission was not enough to express the respect in his heart, Confucian-robed middle-aged man's hunched waist became much lower.
"He didn't say anything!"
Feng Ting Shu's eyes fell on Confucian-robed middle-aged man's face for the first time.
Confucian-robed middle-aged man became more and more respectful, "This man is a brilliant man among men. He knows that he can't escape the palm of your hand, Master Xingli. Therefore, he does not bear any grudge against me. On the contrary, because he is only acquainted with the villain, he came here to look for him and ask about the story of the Chaotic Star Sea and Peach Blossom Demon."
"Can he agree to deposit Martial Edict with Ink Tower?"
Feng Ting Shu leaned back and became more and more comfortable.
"The material should be fine."
After Confucian-robed middle-aged man answered, a message suddenly asked, "I'm sorry to say more, but I really don't understand why Master Xingli wants him to store Martial Edict? Xu Yi has taken over the task and has no room for maneuver. Master Xingli can just sit back and wait for his defeat, so why go through such twists and turns."
Feng Ting Shu's thick "one" eyebrows suddenly raised, and with a pop, Confucian-robed middle-aged man knelt down on the ground and said repeatedly, "The villain is talking nonsense, and his crime deserves ten thousand death, his crime deserves ten thousand death..."
Feng Ting Shu, who was already a star official, had no power of life or death over him, but there were countless people who could use countless methods to turn Confucian-robed middle-aged man into powder with just a few clicks of his fingers. He was really afraid to the core of his being.
Feng Ting Shu was very satisfied with Confucian-robed middle-aged man's humbleness. He waved his hand and said through the message, "There is such a deep hatred, why bother using others to deal with it? It's better to solve it personally if you can solve it yourself."
Confucian-robed middle-aged man suddenly understood that the so-called mission was just a smoke bomb, no, it was also a safety catch. Xu Yi could escape one disaster, but not two.
"But why should Martial Edict be sealed?"
As soon as the idea changed, Confucian-robed middle-aged man showed his thumb and praised through the voice transmission, "I understand, Master Xingli is still smart. Teaching him to store Martial Edict is also a deception to eliminate the remaining worries in his mind. Even the gods can't figure it out two deceptions in a row. It is really clever to minimize his vigilance and strike when he is unprepared."
I have to say that Confucian-robed middle-aged man also has good intentions, and Feng Ting Shu had exactly this idea.
Young Master Feng died, Feng Ting Shu was furious but did not act blindly. After reviewing the scene of Young Master Feng's death that day, he immediately realized that Xu Yi was an extraordinary new leader. Just that Swift Body Talisman was enough for him to raise his vigilance to the highest level.
Afterwards, Feng Ting Shu spent a lot of time investigating Xu Yi's past, but found nothing. He didn't even know where he got Martial Edict.
