Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

87: The Golden Light Immortal Technique—the first cultivator in the Chen family!Hearing this, Chuanwu’s heart stirred. If he could obtain another Cultivation Technique, it would increase the Family’s heritage.

”Thank you, Brother Baili. Please lead the way and take me to see the secret immortal cultivation arts!”

Baili Xi nodded and led Chuanwu through the storehouse. They soon arrived at a study. Baili Xi opened the door and ushered Chuanwu inside.

”There are twenty-three Qi Refining Cultivation Techniques here. Brother Chuanwu, you may choose one for yourself.”

”However, these techniques are not free; they require Spirit Stones or merit. It just so happens that Brother Chuanwu has a first-class military merit, which is enough to cover the cost!”

Chuanwu was secretly amazed. No wonder the previous Military Official hadn’t been able to Cultivate even by the time he retired. Spirit Stones and military merit were extremely difficult to obtain. Had it not been for his good luck, he might have ended up like his predecessor—qualified to buy, but with an empty wallet!

”Thank you, Brother Baili. I’ll go take a look!”

Chuanwu cupped his hands to Baili Xi and then walked toward the bookshelves to browse.

The Spring Breeze Rain-Transforming Art, a water-attribute technique, grants a self-healing effect... The Azure Wood Life-Nurturing Art, a wood-attribute technique, can extend life by thirty years, though its power is average... ”While these are not top-tier techniques, they each have their own effects and are far superior to the lowest-grade ones!”

Seeing Chen Chuanwu hesitate, Baili Xi shared some basic cultivation knowledge with him. The lowest-level techniques naturally had no additional effects, unlike the ”Azure Wood Life-Nurturing Art,” which came with a life-extending benefit.

After hearing this, Chen Chuanwu chose the technique that most appealed to him: the ”Golden Light Ray-Transforming Art.”

This was a metal-attribute immortal Cultivation Technique that could nurture sharp spiritual power. It could either cover the body to block enemy attacks or condense spiritual power into a single point to unleash a devastatingly sharp strike!

It was a technique specialized for combat and killing!

”Brother Chuanwu, you need to memorize the technique now. According to the Imperial Court’s rules, you cannot transcribe or copy it. Furthermore, only you may practice it; you are not allowed to teach it to others, not even your Family.”

Baili Xi’s expression grew serious as he spoke:

”Any violators will face the death penalty! And their entire clan will be executed!”

Chen Chuanwu was startled, secretly sighing at how strictly the Imperial Court controlled immortal Cultivation Techniques. He had thought too simply before; it seemed this technique could not be passed down within the Family.

”Thank you for telling me, Brother Baili. I’ve committed it to memory!”

Chen Chuanwu cupped his hands to Baili Xi and began to memorize the technique’s contents, while Baili Xi quietly exited the room.

Two quarters of an hour later, Chen Chuanwu had memorized the technique. He returned it to its original place and pushed open the door to leave the study.

Outside, Baili Xi had already been waiting for a long time.

”Brother Chuanwu, these are your official robes and waist token. From today onward, all matters involving the mobilization of force within the county are under your jurisdiction. From Constables catching thieves to Martial Artists causing trouble, you’ll have much to look after!”

Baili Xi said with a smile. Then, he waved his hand, and a servant behind him stepped forward, holding a set of official robes, a waist token, and a precious saber.

”Haha, I’m young and inexperienced. I’ll need much guidance from you, Brother Baili!”

Chen Chuanwu didn’t stand on ceremony. He picked up the waist token and examined it closely. It was entirely silver-white, with the words ”Military Official” engraved on one side and ”Longwei County” on the other. In a corner, the three small characters ”Chen Chuanwu” were also inscribed.

”Brother Chuanwu, this waist token has been certified by the Prefecture City. From today on, you are officially in the government registry. As long as you don’t commit any major errors, no one can strip you of your status as a Military Official!”

Seeing the joy on Chuanwu’s face, Baili Xi thought the young man, suddenly finding himself in a high position, surely wanted to show off a bit. Thus, he commanded:
