Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

In the blue brick courtyard of the Qiulong Mansion and the Qiulong Martial Arts Association, he was looking at the special edition of the Jianghu Gazette that he had bought from a newsboy on the street outside.

The so-called extra edition refers to the news in the court bulletin that is printed temporarily in addition to the daily scheduled publications.

The famous family of Qiulong Mansion belongs to the 'Youjian Newspaper', one of the thirty-six martial arts associations. Its power is also complex and extremely large. At the beginning of its establishment, it made a living by selling news, weaving intelligence, printing books, and promoting news materials.

This special edition doesn't come out every day.

Instead, it will only be printed out as soon as important intelligence and news appear in some cities.

It is said that in that nameless newspaper office, there are two kinds of spirits named 'Seal Spirit' and 'Ear-reporting God'. The Seal Spirit is a tool for woodblock printing. With the help of the weather, it becomes a spirit and can print out tens of thousands of official reports in a short time. The Ear-reporting God is a kind of elf that can attach itself to many places, such as teahouses and taverns, to act as eyes and ears and provide the famous people with a lot of underworld material intelligence at the first time. These two things can be said to be the most important 'gate-guarding objects' of the famous people.

"Today's special edition! Martial scholar Chen Ku pacified Sanlong Mountain alone, and the Martial Temple conferred the title of 'Martial Examination' on him!"

Qin Fang and the others looked at this special edition from a famous family. They first sighed that the famous family's informants in the city were well-informed. Then, they looked at the specific content under the line of large characters on the official newspaper and were shocked:
"He pacified Sanlong Mountain by himself, and within a few days, he was awarded the title of Wu Ju. This junior uncle really is... a man of his word."

The guards looked at each other.

They all thought of the various conditions they had used to refute Chen Ku's lack of qualifications that day, seniority, cultivation, fame, and command ability...

Unexpectedly, after defeating Lao Qi, Chen Ku quickly made up for his other shortcomings one after another.

In addition, he was personally recognized as the "Junior Master Uncle" by his mentor Qin Yuxian.

"This junior uncle really did it all."

Nie Zhun touched his forehead, looked at his brothers and asked:

"Then, do we really have to obey him and let him serve as the 'Acting President' of the Qiulong Martial Arts Association during the period when Master is away?"

The guards looked at each other.

He first looked at the third brother, Situ Chun, who had the most objections.

Situ Chun turned his head away and said:
"Don't ask me about this. I'm going to discuss the business of selling elixirs with the Three Emperors Patriarchs right now."

obviously.

When it comes to making money, the money-obsessed Third Brother only has eyes for the benefits that the Seventh Realm Alchemist introduced by Chen Ku can bring to the Qiulong Martial Arts Association.

"It seems that we are basically all completely convinced by this junior master."

Qin Fang looked at his brothers' similar expressions. Although none of them said anything, they all kept silent and agreed. He thought to himself:
"However, the Qiulong Martial Arts Association is the headquarters that governs the thirty-six major martial arts associations. It won't make much sense for us to obey him internally. Each of the top ten martial arts associations has a seventh-level old-school master suppressing them. How to make these martial arts associations obey him and allow him to take over the position of 'General President' from Master is the most difficult step."

……

Not to mention the reactions from all parties on the Twelve Guardians' side.

Go back to one hour ago.

In the martial arts temple of the Qiulong Martial Arts Association.

Chen Ku brought back the heads of Hu Heita, who was captured alive, and the two leaders of the Sanlong Mountain, and brought them directly to the Martial Temple to close the case. Soon, the news caused a sensation in the entire Martial Temple.

Even Zhao Shenyang, the highest chief priest in the Martial Temple, whose rank was comparable to that of a prefect, was alarmed. He summoned all the old scholars in the Martial Temple and brought them to the Dacheng Hall of the Martial Temple.

The chief priest was wearing a tall hat and a wide belt, and looked like a man in his sixties. He had five long beards under his chin, an elegant and simple face, and was wearing a loose and thick brocade robe.

"Chen Ku, I pay my respects to the Master Priest."

Of course Chen Ku knew this chief priest. The silver armor and the coiled dragon staff on his body were given to him by the chief priest of the Martial Temple after he passed the ancient Jiaohou level. After paying his respects, he continued:
"Under the recommendation of Master Tang, I accepted the task of the Martial Temple's tenth achievement, 'annihilating Sanlong Mountain'. Now I have returned with my mission accomplished. These are the three bandit leaders. There are also local people from Heyang County who went to Sanlong Mountain to clean up the battlefield. Please check with the Lord Sacrifice Officer."

Zhao Shenyang and a group of old scholars from the Martial Temple looked at the young man, who was only about seventeen years old, who bowed and clasped his fists in front of them.

There was amazement in his eyes.

Looking at the two heads in front of Chen Ku, there was no need to distinguish the Hu Heita who were captured alive.

Tang Lie stood among a group of old scholars and looked at Chen Ku with love and excitement in his eyes.

"This kid... is really... too fierce!"

When he took over the credit for Chen Ku, he had already heard from Chen Ku's words that this guy probably wanted to go and suppress the bandits alone.

But he never expected it anyway.

It will be so fast!

The efficiency is so high!

It took no more than three days to pacify Sanlong Mountain.

"Hurry and get free of charge."

The chief priest Zhao Shenyang smiled and asked Chen Ku to stand up straight, saying:
"When I heard the news, I ordered someone to pass it on to the Heyang County Martial Temple, and it will be verified soon."

During the Daji Dynasty, a martial temple was established in every county. The previous martial temple in Baojiao County was an example. Wherever there was a martial temple, there would be students from the temple stationed there. They were not only used to select martial students, but also had the ability to transmit news and investigate and determine the situation in various places.

The rebellion in Baojiao County was reported to the Martial Temple of Qiulong Prefecture immediately by the Martial Temple of Baojiao County. However, Baojiao County had been occupied by the rebels now, and some formations and restrictions inside the Martial Temple of Baojiao County related to the world of martial arts had been temporarily sealed by the Martial Temple of the Prefecture.

After a while

Then someone who was in charge of contacting the Heyang County Martial Temple came forward to reply, saying:

"Reporting to the Master Priest, the Magistrate of Heyang County reported in the Heyang Martial Temple that there were more than a thousand bandits on Sanlong Mountain, but they were wiped out by Chen Xiucai alone. The Heyang County Lieutenant is leading the county's men to clean up the mess on Sanlong Mountain." "Good, good!"

After confirming that Chen Ku's achievements were correct, Zhao Shenyang looked at Chen Ku and clapped his hands in praise:
"I heard that Qin Yuxian accepted you as his disciple, which means you are Qin Yuxian's junior brother. Your senior brother Qin Yuxian was also promoted to Juren through the 'Cao Ju System'. I still remember clearly that he cooperated with the court to destroy a rebellious martial arts association in the city. At that time, he was only at the sixth level of cultivation, but he was able to suppress more than 500 people in the martial arts association by himself.

Now, you have also single-handedly pacified the Sanlong Mountain with more than a thousand bandits. In terms of achievements, you are even better than Qin Yuxian back then.

You are worthy of being accepted as a disciple by Qin Yuxian, and it is worth it that I personally went to the martial arts world to bestow treasures on you."

Chen Ku looked very humble and said, "Master Priest, you are too kind."

Tang Lie smiled and said, "Since the Lord Sacrifice Officer thinks so highly of him, why not take advantage of Chen Ku's return and have you personally confer a title and robes on him, and promote his achievements?"

"Okay!" Zhao Shenyang said with a smile: "Chen Ku, you now fully meet the requirements for a Wu Xiucai to be promoted to a 'Wu Juren' under the recommendation system of our Daji Dynasty. Now please follow me to the Wuzu Temple, pay homage, and receive the reward you deserve."

Chen Ku cupped his hands: "I respect your order."

After some twists and turns, they arrived at the second largest hall of the Martial Temple, the Martial Ancestor Hall, where they saw five Martial Temple saints standing on each side of the hall. They were the ten great saints enshrined in the Martial Temple.

And in the middle is the statue of the Martial Ancestor whose image and position have never changed for thousands of years.

"Martial Ancestor..."

Chen Ku had seen this chief ancestor worshipped in the Martial Temple when he was in Baojiao County. Now that he came to the Qiulong Martial Temple, he found that the image of this Martial Ancestor was even more realistic.

This Martial Ancestor had long flowing hair and eyes like cold stars, as if he had a life of divinity. He was wearing a black robe and golden armor, and even his sculpted skin had a bronze, crystal-like luster.

"It is said that the martial arts practice system between heaven and earth originated from Wu Zu. He was the first person in the ancient emperor period to practice martial arts to the highest level. He is comparable to the ancient gods and demons. That is why he is enshrined in the center of the Martial Temple. He is recognized as the 'ancestor' by all martial artists in later generations."

Chen Ku was curious:

"But I don't know what kind of qualifications the Martial Ancestor has? What kind of physique does he have?"

Just as he was thinking about this in his heart.

In the Temple of Martial Arts, two trays had already been brought out as prepared by the people in the Temple of Martial Arts.

Zhao Shenyang led Chen Ku to burn incense in front of the statue of Wuzu, and then worshipped the ten great saints. In the hall, he recited the merits of Chen Kusheng in recommending the martial arts candidate, then turned to Chen Ku and said loudly:

"Military scholar Chen Ku, because of your meritorious service in suppressing bandits, this priest, in the name of the Martial Temple, now grants you the seventh-rank 'Military Scholar' of the Daji Dynasty, a set of 'Jinlan Yushan', a seventh-rank student's official uniform, and a 'Wusha Yishan Crown', a seventh-rank student's cap."

Chen Ku's eyes were attracted by a set of clothes on one of the mahogany trays, which was different from the "scholar's hairpin and sword crown" awarded to him for his academic title.

The official uniform and crown hat worn by the military candidate are really impressive.

He now has many famous weapons on him, so it is obvious that the material of the 'Jinlan Yushan', which is as white as jade and covered with gray gauze, and looks like a Taoist robe, is clearly a top-quality 'soft armor clothing'.

It seemed that he noticed Chen Ku's eyes.

Tang Lie said to Chen Ku with a smile:

"This Jinlan Jade Shirt is made of silk spun by a hundred-year-old jade silkworm, combined with gold silk jade, jade cotton yarn, and lark cloth. When worn, it keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer, and it keeps away snakes, rats, mosquitoes, and insects, and it can also defend you from famous soldiers.

The black gauze winged hat is woven from awakening beads, golden silk, and black rain yarn. When worn on the head, it can protect against the evil energy of general demons that can bewitch the soul and can also make the mind clear.

The most important thing is that this set of crown and clothes contains the "national destiny dragon energy" of our Daji Dynasty. When you wear it, you will be a seventh-rank official of Daji. You can serve as a candidate for the "county magistrate" of a certain county at any time and go to a certain county to take over the position of the seventh-rank county magistrate. "

Chen Ku was very moved.

Look at the black hat again.

"This is really a black hat in the open sense. A seventh-rank martial arts candidate, a seventh-rank official, wearing this hat is equivalent to a county magistrate without an official rank, and he can also apply to the Martial Temple at any time to go to a certain county to serve as a county magistrate."

He let out a deep breath.

The lord of a county!
As long as you want, you can become the head of a county now, govern a population of 100,000 households like Shangguan Yun, and become a local high-ranking official!

If the scholar was just a scholar before.

Then the status brought by the Juren is really completely different.

However, Zhao Shenyang's reward was not over yet, and he smiled bitterly at Chen:

"Chen Ku, take out your martial arts token."

Chen Ku's mind moved, he already knew what it was, so he took out the martial arts token.

The chief priest of the Martial Temple casually picked up a jade scepter from his sleeve and pointed it at Chen Ku's golden martial arts order:

"This is 50,000 Wu Luck, which is also the reward you should have received for annihilating Sanlong Mountain. It has now been distributed to your gold token. You can use it the next time you enter the Martial Arts World to redeem and purchase all the creations in the Martial Arts World."

Chen Ku was overjoyed and took his golden martial arts order.

Seeing a flash of golden light on the Martial Arts Golden Order, he could hear the sound of abacus beads being counted:

[Chen Ku, a juren, received 50,000 military fortunes...

Current balance of Wuyun in the account: 72,400 points]

Listening to the balance of martial luck in his account:
"This is what I want most. It's enough to exchange for a Fire-Repelling Pearl. With the Fire-Repelling Pearl, I can go deep into Huozui Mountain!" (End of this chapter)
