Letting You Practice Life Skills, You Cultivated Into Divine Positions

Qin An felt a surge of joy as he entered the Body Infusion Realm, noticing the difference.

Reaching the Body Infusion Realm marked a qualitative change. He felt that when facing Eighth Master Eagle again, he might not need to use Mountain-Lifting Fist; a single strike with the Wind-Breaking Goose Blade Technique would suffice.

After the initial elation, Qin An didn't stop. He took out another cultivation method he had confiscated from Captain Zheng and began to study it.

"As expected, I still have no talent for cultivation. I can only cheat."

After reading for a while, Qin An's head felt enormous. He set the cultivation method aside and pondered other matters.

"Should I level up my old professions or unlock new ones?"

The dim yellow candlelight flickered. Qin An stirred the flame, and it brightened.

He fell into deep thought.

With the crisis still unresolved, Qin An faced two choices.

The first was to improve his existing professions. The second was to unlock new ones.

Smoke appeared before his eyes, coalescing into text.

Butcher Lv. 3 (80/400): Your butchered livestock is slightly more delicious.
Scholar Lv. 3 (40/400): Your reading speed is slightly increased.
Blacksmith Lv. 3 (0/400): The quality of items you forge is improved.

The Butcher profession had gained 80 proficiency points due to the recent consecutive butchering of demonic creatures.

The Scholar profession had gained proficiency points from recently studying cultivation methods.

As for the Blacksmith profession, there was no change at all; it remained at Level 3 with 0 points.

These three professions were all Qin An had.

Qin An then picked up the Azure Bird Leap he had obtained from Captain Zheng and decided to unlock a new profession.

The old professions required a lot of proficiency to level up. The Butcher, which was closest to leveling up, still needed 320 points.

Meanwhile, unlocking a new profession from Level 1 to Level 3 only required 300 points, 20 less than the Butcher.

Compared to the two, unlocking a new profession to gain new talents was more cost-effective.

Moreover, Qin An now had the Azure Bird Leap. Unlocking a profession that matched his movement technique could maximize his strength.

Now, not only was there pressure from the Yamen, but also the threat of three major demonic creature factions. On his side, there was Chen Chun, an undercover agent from the Evil Extermination Division.

Qin An needed to unlock the new profession as quickly as possible.

Having made up his mind, Qin An followed his usual routine, hung up his bell, and went to sleep.

Tomorrow, he would go out and search for a way to unlock the new profession.

The Yamen.

Clerk Wang gripped his wine cup, his face as dark as water.

The constables knelt with their heads bowed, trembling like leaves in the wind, not daring to look up.

"A living person has disappeared, and there are signs of a struggle in the wild grassland, yet you tell me there are no clues?"

Clerk Wang smashed the wine cup onto a constable's face. "And that butcher actually went home?"

Blood streamed from the constable's forehead, but he didn't dare show it. He put on a fawning smile. "My lord, over a dozen constables have searched the wild grassland and found some clues. We should find him within a few days at most."

Clerk Wang took several deep breaths. "Investigate. Also, send people to strictly monitor the butcher's residence."

The constable hurriedly nodded, not daring to hesitate.

Clerk Wang picked up his wine cup again, intending to take a sip. However, the usual fine wine tasted bland when it reached his lips.

Tonight's events were truly strange.

Clerk Wang, having reached his current position and status, knew that Captain Zheng and the Eagle Demon had met with misfortune.

Yet, the butcher was still alive.

Clerk Wang knew deep down that the butcher was likely the killer.

But he dared not act rashly.

The longer one lived, the more one feared death.

Everything had to be done cautiously.

As the constable prepared to leave, he quietly asked, "My lord, should we inform the County Magistrate?"

Clerk Wang snapped back to reality and sneered, "If you dare to say anything, your head will be removed today."

He could not report this to the County Magistrate.

His current status and position were not only the result of his own hard work but also due to the County Magistrate's support.

This matter had to be kept secret, or his head would be forfeit.

Seeing the coldness in Clerk Wang's tone, the constable dared not say more and quickly turned to leave the room.

Before he could take a few steps, a thick thigh kicked him in the chest.

The constable spat out a mouthful of blood, rolling a few times on the ground before his breathing became shallow.

Clerk Wang stood up abruptly, a chilling killing intent emanating from him. "Who dares to act so presumptuously in the Yamen!"

He had nowhere to vent his anger and was preparing to unleash it on the newcomer.

But when he saw who it was, his fury quickly vanished, replaced by a fawning smile.

"So it's Second Master who has arrived."

The newcomer wore light yellow silk, his muscles bulging, and a bamboo hat on his head.

Beneath the hat, an eagle's head exuded a savage aura.

The empty socket where its left eye should have been made it look even more ferocious.

Second Master Eagle of Flying Cloud Gorge, who controlled the entire gorge.

Clerk Wang knew the other's identity well and understood that this was an extremely ruthless demonic creature.

Years ago, Flying Cloud Gorge had eight Eagle Demons at the perfected Qi Concealment Realm.

But during an internal conflict, Second Master Eagle, along with half the Eagle Demons, engaged in a chaotic battle with First Master Eagle.

He ultimately replaced him.

The price was that only three perfected Qi Concealment Realm Eagle Demons remained in Flying Cloud Gorge.

At this moment, the aura emanating from Second Master Eagle was extremely chilling, making even Clerk Wang tremble.

"He broke through!"

Clerk Wang had only one thought.

The other was no longer in the Qi Concealment Realm but had reached the Body Infusion Realm.

Second Master Eagle said coldly, "The constables you sent to search the Wild Grasslands are all trash. They were eaten by Second Master when they arrived. Any objections?"

Clerk Wang quickly put on a smile. "No, not at all. It's their good fortune to be eaten by Second Master."

Second Master Eagle slapped Clerk Wang on the head. "If you weren't somewhat useful, Second Master would have eaten you today."

Clerk Wang was sent sprawling to the ground by the slap but didn't dare to resist. He scrambled to his feet in a fluster.

Before he could speak, Second Master Eagle continued, "That butcher took away the Evil Extermination Division's undercover agent."

Clerk Wang froze on the spot, like a wooden statue.

He had actually known about the Evil Extermination Division's undercover agent for a long time but had never told anyone else.

With the three major demonic forces surrounding Ding County, escape would be impossible even if they had wings.

But now he was being told that the undercover agent was taken away by a butcher surnamed Qin?

Thinking of this, Clerk Wang broke out in a cold sweat.

"Second Master, save me!"

Clerk Wang hugged Second Master Eagle's furry leg, crying out.

If the news leaked, let alone him, even the county magistrate wouldn't survive.

Second Master Eagle kicked Clerk Wang away and stepped on his chest. "Second Master is here today to kill that butcher, but Second Master has a condition."

Clerk Wang nodded hurriedly. "Please speak, Second Master."

Even if the demonic forces around Ding County acted outrageously, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly within the county town.

It wasn't out of fear of the county town's strength, but out of fear of the Evil Extermination Division.

If the matter escalated and the Evil Extermination Division in Ling Prefecture found out, it was likely that the three major demonic forces would be uprooted.

But if someone like Second Master Eagle entered to kill a butcher, Clerk Wang could smooth things over.
