Soul Master Manual

Chapter 116

"The Supervision Department?"

Li Changan was startled.

He is no longer a novice who just joined the Quiet Society, and has a good understanding of the Quiet Society's system.

The entire Quiet Society has many different departments such as the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Supervision, and the Ministry of Affairs. Each department has great power.

For example, mobilizing the Public Security Bureau of an entire area can obtain the support of the Royal Army stationed in a certain area, and can also apply for the limiter of the entire Quiet Society, covering the first to fifth levels.

Fei Chengqing is a senior deacon affiliated to the Ministry of Supervision, Li Changan knows this.

The Ministry of Supervision, to put it bluntly, not only needs to be responsible for external tasks, but also needs to be responsible for internal supervision.

Incidents like the Yangcheng Tranquility Meeting in Zouping fall within the scope of the Ministry of Supervision.

"Yes, the Ministry of Supervision."

Fei Chengqing nodded, grabbed a few strands of hair, and put them on the white quilt.

While kneading, he explained:

"You know the responsibilities of the Supervision Department, and you also know the rights of the Supervision Department. Compared with an action team stationed in a region, the Supervision Department has much more salary, benefits, and the power it can use."

Before Li Changan could speak, he twisted a curly hair and continued:

"I know what you and Captain Ran are planning, and I believe you can do it. But..."

He narrowed his eyes.

"Captain Ran has the support of the Ran family. What about you? Do you think you can raise many spirit beasts with the money you earn from the task of the Tranquil Society in Yangcheng?"

Ran family?

Li Changan remembered that when Zou Hailin appeared, he seemed to call Ran Jianyu the girl of Ran's family.

It seemed that he was quite afraid of the Ran family, but he didn't dare to kill Ran Jianyu, it just made her break a contract.

However, Li Changan understood what Fei Chengqing said.

In fact, some time ago, he already had the qualification to contract the second spirit beast.

It was just because his soul was not strong enough at that time to freely choose the second spirit beast.

In addition, his financial ability is not enough for him to afford the consumption of two spirit beasts.

Now that Xiao Huan has evolved into the Moying Three-tailed Civet, there is no doubt that the resources Li Changan wants to spend on it will not decrease, but will continue to increase.

Money, for him, will always be an issue, and probably always will be the biggest issue.

"Besides, how many spirit beasts can you meet in a small Yangcheng? How many strange and unpredictable abilities can you see? How many powerful spirit masters can you come into contact with? Want to deal with Zou Hailin, With your current knowledge, it is far from enough."

There was a sentence that hit Li Changan's sore spot.

He even failed to fully recognize the spirit beasts of Zou Hailin.

Let alone trying to deal with him.

"The Ministry of Supervision, you can access the collection of books in the headquarters. Although you may not have enough authority when you first joined, but with the accumulation of tasks and the rise in status, the authority will naturally be opened."

Fei Chengqing explained the stakes to Li Changan bit by bit.

Hearing this, Li Changan pursed his lips.

He knew what Fei Chengqing said, and it was clear.

but
After pondering for a while, Li Changan said slowly:
"Our branch of the Yangcheng Tranquility Society, because of this encounter, already... there are not many people left. If I also leave, only the fish team, Fat Brother and Baizhu, how can they afford the entire Yangcheng? Task?"

This is what worries him the most.

"Moreover, I also serve as a teacher and head teacher of the Department of Spiritual Beast History at Yangcheng University."

This is also what he has concerns about.

Like Gu Li and Lu Chan, they all came for him.

But it's not long since school starts now, and he's about to leave, so it's a bit unreal to be true.

Li Changan finished talking about his worries, but Fei Chengqing couldn't help but chuckled.

"Yangcheng, naturally there is a way to raise the city, whether it's recruiting new people or recruiting from other places, it's all the way. And you think that the people from the Supervision Department need to be on standby at the headquarters all the time? Everyone has their own lives and things. It is enough to assemble when a specific task is needed. In most cases, even if there is a task, it is handled by one's own ability, and if you can't handle it, you can apply for support."

Li Changan was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively:

"In other words, I don't actually need to leave Yangcheng?"

Fei Chengqing rubbed his chin.

"Not all of them. Some missions still require you to travel a little farther, but you can come back after the mission is completed. Going out for a few days will not delay things very much."

"Besides, what strength do you have now? You can barely reach the standard of a Tier [-] Spirit Master. How many tasks are you qualified to participate in?"

Er. Also.

Although this is a bit hurtful to say, it is indeed the truth.

"Then I am qualified to join the Ministry of Supervision?" Li Changan raised another doubt.

Since he is so weak in Fei Chengqing's mouth, why let him join the supervision department?
"Brother, at least you have some confidence in me, okay? Although I, Fei Chengqing, am not a big shot, I still have such power. Besides, I should be able to be promoted to the fifth rank soon, and I can recruit you as a small member. Isn't it easy?"

Brother, you are not taboo at all about calling you. Li Changan couldn't help complaining from the bottom of his heart.

Fei Chengqing was older than him anyway, and a lot older, but he called "big brother" very smoothly.

But Li Changan didn't show any face, shook his head and said:

"This reason is not enough to convince me."

Fei Chengqing: "."

He stared at Li Changan for a long time, and Li Changan also stared at him without hesitation.

After a while.

"Okay." Fei Chengqing raised his hand in surrender.

"I convinced you. You are Professor Yan's student, you know ancient characters, right?"

Li Changan nodded.

"Your spirit beast, Xiao Huan is the name, right? Does it have a special ability, like derivation and divination?"

"Meow~~"

This time, Xiao Huan helped Li Changan answer the question.

"That's fine. I need a person like you in my team. You have heard a little bit about my last mission. It was an investigation of an ancient tomb. I need someone who has a certain understanding of history and historical documents. , and at the same time, divination ability can also allow us to avoid certain risks. Does this reason convince you?"

That being said, it is indeed a reason.

However, Li Changan estimated that Professor Yan's favor should also account for a large proportion of it.

But in any case, he really needs such a job and identity that can earn more resources.

"Finally, your captain Ran Jianyu agreed."

Did the fish team all agree?
"Okay. I'll join."

Fei Chengqing was already so sincere, Li Changan felt that if he refused again, he would be slapped in the face to some extent.

He could see that even though Fei Chengqing was only a fourth-tier spiritual master, he didn't seem to care about ordinary fifth-tier spiritual masters.

When he is successfully promoted to the fifth rank, maybe...he intends to be the deputy director of the Supervision Department. Li Changan guessed secretly in his heart.

". My face is not as good as Ran Jianyu's words."

Fei Chengqing muttered a little "indignantly".

Li Changan: "."

Brother, can you keep your voice down when you think about it?
"I will submit the application as soon as I can, and your transfer order will come down soon. When you have no mission, you can stay in Yangcheng, or go to the surrounding cities to have a look."

After finishing speaking, Fei Chengqing stood up.

Look refreshed.

"Then what." Li Changan suddenly stopped him.

"Ok?"

"What about the treatment?"

This question is very important.

Fei Chengqing: "."

He blinked.

Does anyone really care about base salary?

After a little recollection, he still said:
"According to your strength, ability, and work experience, the basic salary is tentatively set at [-] a month, including everything. Bonuses and remuneration distribution, the commission requirement has been increased, and no membership fee will be drawn below [-]."

[-], double the basic salary of the branch of the Tranquil Society in Yangcheng.

That's it.

"correct."

Fei Chengqing who walked to the door suddenly stopped, turned around and said seriously:
"When you passed out, Granny Gu didn't completely pass away. She said that she left something for you in her pharmacy."

After speaking, Fei Chengqing finally left.

Li Changan was left sitting on the bed blankly.

"Grandma."

Li Changan lifted the quilt and saw his own body that was also covered in bandages.

"Meow!"

Startled, Xiao Huan hurriedly supported him.

Li Changan gritted his teeth, resisted the pain in his body, and tremblingly walked towards the pharmacy room on the second floor.

bang——

Open the heavy metal door and smell the familiar smell.

But in the dim pharmacy room, the familiar crooked figure was gone.

"Meow."

Xiao Huan called softly.

"I'm fine." Li Changan said in a low voice.

Step by step, she walked towards the pharmacy table where Granny Gu stayed the longest.

Above.

There is a metal iron box.

Li Changan stretched out his hand and lightly rested on the cold metal box.

Rubbed slowly.

Take a deep breath.

bang-

The iron box was opened.

What caught the eye was a few quaint books neatly arranged.

Li Chang'an had seen these books on Grandma Gu's desk when she was doing medicine experiments.

These are books about spiritual materials, curses, and rituals.

On the other side of the book, there are bottles of tightly sealed potions.

And the lizard skin that Li Changan is familiar with - Calamity Talisman.

There are eleven in total.

At the bottom of everything was a letter.

Li Changan carefully took out all the things.

"Meow?" Xiao Huan whimpered softly.

"No. Mother-in-law won't hurt me."

Li Chang'an rejected Xiao Huaan's idea of ​​asking "Ying Yan" to check for danger.

He gently rubbed the bridge of his nose twice with his fingers, sat on the chair beside the pharmacy table, and slowly unfolded the letter.

"Stinky boy, save some money."

Li Changan's eyes were almost blurred when he saw the first sentence above.

From the handwriting, Li Chang'an could feel that when Granny Gu wrote this letter, her mental state should have been out of order. The handwriting was a bit distorted and confusing, and the sentences were not smooth.

At that time, she might have had a premonition.

But she couldn't escape Zou Hailin's control.

The strength gap between the two sides is too great.

The ancient mother-in-law listed in detail the potions she left behind and the efficacy of each potion.

Among them, there are those that heal wounds, those that restore spirituality and soul, and those that enhance spirituality.

There are even highly toxic poisons, potions with curse effects, and some potions that have strong side effects but can greatly improve abilities for a period of time, such as "wild desire".

If any bottle of it is brought to the market, it is estimated that it is a medicine with a unit of "ten thousand".

"I don't have many materials left, so I'll leave this for you. There are also a few calamity charms left over from my previous use. Your kid should be running out soon, right? Anyway, you have already learned how to do it yourself. Do it yourself later."

"You don't need to know curses and rituals, but it's always good to understand. If you are interested in the book I left behind, read it. If you are not interested, just burn it."

"That's right. I know you should be able to subdue the second spirit beast. Provide some places. You can look for it yourself, maybe there is a suitable one."

"Finally. I use the remaining piece of equipment for the imperial master, the 'filthy dice', which should be able to play a big role in conjunction with your little guy's divination ability..."

Li Changan rubbed his nose, as if it was blocked by something.

The ancient mother-in-law didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, she just explained something very ordinary, as if it was formulaic.

But this is the mother-in-law's temperament.

Flip through the letter and look at the last line.

"I almost forgot. I put the hair restorer you asked for on the shelf, and the method of making it is also on it. Remember to take it yourself."

Hair tonic.
Tick-tick-tick-

Li Chang'an didn't shed tears when the people from the Tranquility Meeting left.

But seeing the last sentence, he finally couldn't control it.

Curled up on this small chair, tears "crackling" dripped on the letter, leaving watermarks one by one.

"Meow."

Xiao Huan approached Li Changan, stood up and hugged him gently, stroking his back.

Cry, cry all out, and you'll be fine.
