Letting You Practice Life Skills, You Grind Into Divine Positions

A flood of information poured into his mind. In just a moment, Qin An had completely mastered the Reversing Gang Qi.

At this moment, Qin An's face was pale, his Blood Essence depleted.

Fortunately, he was already accustomed to this and immediately sat cross-legged to recover.

After a brief recovery, Qin An slowly stood up, his internal True Qi surging like a dragon.

A layer of colorless Gang Qi enveloped his entire body, causing the surrounding air to distort.

"Clang!"

The Black Blade struck the Gang Qi, and an intense, vibrating force immediately repelled the Black Blade to the side.

"Not bad," Qin An thought to himself.

With his defensive methods supplemented, Qin An felt naturally at ease.

After a moment of contemplation, Qin An made a plan.

Both Azure Cloud Valley and the Tree Lord were enemies who held grudges against him.

His next step was to accumulate Blood Crystals and Cultivation Methods, as well as improve his professional proficiency, to quickly increase his strength.

With this thought, the sky had already darkened. Qin An went to sleep fully clothed.

The next day.

A knock sounded at the door.

A Clerk from the Internal Affairs Division stood outside, speaking respectfully.

"Lord Qin, your assignment is settled. Please follow me."

Qin An pushed open the door, his expression unchanged. "Lead the way."

The issue of his assignment had dragged on for more than ten days, and now there was finally an answer.

He was currently lacking in Cultivation Methods. Once his assignment was confirmed, he would find a way to obtain more Blood Crystals and Cultivation Methods to advance his own techniques to a higher level.

Today's assignment being finalized was exactly to his liking.

The Clerk from the Internal Affairs Division lowered his head, avoiding eye contact with Qin An, and led the way towards a courtyard.

The courtyard assigned to the Silver Captain was much larger than the one for the Bronze Captain.

The courtyard was spotless, with an old tree covered in spring buds standing in a corner.

There was a stone table and four stone stools in the courtyard.

"This subordinate takes his leave."

The Clerk from the Internal Affairs Division said in a low voice and then departed alone.

Qin An, his hand resting on the Black Blade, strode into the courtyard and surveyed his surroundings.

Footsteps sounded in front of the house.

Cheng Sufeng, dressed in dark robes and with a silver plaque hanging from his waist, walked to the stone table and sat down, pouring a pot of clear tea.

"Sit down."

Qin An approached, his demeanor as calm as a still lake. "This subordinate has met with Lord Cheng."

Cheng Sufeng pushed a teacup towards Qin An and asked, "Are you surprised now?"

Qin An's expression remained blank. "I am surprised."

Cheng Sufeng shook his head. "You're being perfunctory. Never mind, I have important matters to discuss with you today."

He was already accustomed to Qin An's temperament and was more curious than anything else about this new subordinate.

Qin An took a sip of tea, waiting for him to continue.

Cheng Sufeng slowly said, "You've offended many people. Azure Cloud Valley, the Tree Lord, and a sect in Ling Prefecture."

"Although that sect fears the Evil Extermination Division, they still hold a grudge and might try to cause trouble for you."

"I resolved the matter with that sect for you yesterday, but the issue of demonic creatures is like a sword hanging over your head. No one can help you with that."

Qin An nodded. "Since I've joined the Evil Extermination Division, I've been prepared for this."

"That's right."

Cheng Sufeng took a sip of tea. "Once you join the Evil Extermination Division, you have to fight desperately to slay demons and eliminate evil. Slaying demons and eliminating evil will offend more demonic creatures and false gods, making you have to fight even harder."

"The Evil Extermination Division offers sufficient rewards, which will make you feel that this desperate gamble is well worth it."

"You have no subordinates, but I have a mission that you can join the other Bronze Captains for."

The Bronze Captains selected Clerks as subordinates each year, but Qin An had been promoted too quickly and currently had no new recruits to choose from.

If a mission was assigned from above, the Silver Captain would naturally take it into consideration.

If the Silver Captain needed to personally attend, he would bring along the Bronze Captains and a group of Clerks.

If not needed, the Silver Captain would dispatch his subordinate Bronze Captains to carry out the task alone.

After completion, the Silver Captain would receive a portion of the merit.

It wasn't much, but with each Silver Captain having hundreds of Bronze Captains under them, the combined amount was still a massive figure.

Where there were benefits, there were naturally drawbacks.

If a mission failed and resulted in severe consequences, the Silver Captain would also be held responsible.

Qin An narrowed his eyes. "What mission?"

Since Blood Crystals and Cultivation Methods were currently in high demand, undertaking a mission was a good idea.

Cheng Sufeng slowly said, "North of Ling Prefecture, there is a demonic creature force called Fox Mountain."

"A group of seductive fox-demons who drain men's Yang Qi, engaging in filthy deeds. They lure men into the mountain and drain them until they become dried corpses."

"Several villages have already fallen victim. You will go investigate. If any Fox Women leave Fox Mountain, kill them on sight."

As his voice fell, footsteps sounded from outside the door.

A middle-aged man walked into the courtyard, followed by a woman.

Besides them, a hundred External Affairs Division clerks stood guard outside the courtyard, creating a truly spectacular scene.

Cheng Sufeng pointed at the middle-aged man. "His name is Nie Hu. He is proficient in Body Hardening techniques, his physical body as strong as a mountain."

After speaking, Cheng Sufeng pointed to the woman.

"Her name is Ma Rou. She excels with her 'Life-Snatching Rope,' pulling heads towards her as easily as reaching into a bag."

Qin An observed their appearances.

The middle-aged man exuded a Dragon-like aura, his muscles bulging like hills. His strength had reached Body Infusion Realm Perfection.

The woman was beautiful, her figure soft and voluptuous like silk. However, a yellow rope hung from her waist.

Both were at Body Infusion Realm Perfection, yet their auras were several times stronger than Tang Lingwei's, clearly indicating they were seasoned experts.

While Qin An observed them, Nie Hu and Ma Rou were also sizing him up.

Nie Hu, in particular, showed a hint of defiance in his eyes.

He had followed Cheng Sufeng for a long time but had never seen Cheng Sufeng pay so much attention to a Bronze Captain.

He had only defeated two enemies at Body Infusion Realm Perfection, and one of them was merely a pseudo-Body Infusion Realm False God.

If he had acted, he could have killed them in an instant.

Yet, Qin An was still being asked to go on a mission with them. Nie Hu knew this was an opportunity for Qin An.

If Qin An made a name for himself, it would be much easier to recruit clerks next time.

Ma Rou, on the other hand, seemed unbothered. She continuously moved her alluring gaze over Qin An, unable to resist licking her rosy lips.

Cheng Sufeng waved his hand. "Depart immediately."

The Evil Extermination Division always prioritized efficiency, especially when it came to slaying demons and eradicating evil.

Qin An, Nie Hu, and the others received swift horses and, accompanied by hundreds of clerks, headed towards the entrance.

At this moment, a woman brushed past Qin An. Her eyes fell on the Bronze badge at Qin An's waist, and her rosy lips pursed slightly.

Tang Lingwei felt a pang of bitterness. He's gotten stronger again, and seems quite favored. Perhaps I shouldn't have overlooked him that day.

Gao Quan saw this and offered comfort, "My Lady, with talent like Qin An's, we wouldn't be able to keep him anyway."

The two sighed and walked into the courtyard with a dozen or so clerks.

Leaving the Evil Extermination Division, they rode swiftly towards the main road.

The weather was perfect, with the red sun hanging high in the sky.
