Immortality begins in the Great Wilderness Grotto Heaven

"wait for me?"

Guo Tao was taken aback when he saw Zhou An standing in front of the pharmacy. He subconsciously looked at Uncle Fu standing to the side.

The latter shook his head, indicating that he had not notified the other party in advance.

At that moment, Guo Tao seemed to understand, and he looked at Zhou An with a meaningful gaze.

"I wonder if Junior Brother Zhou is waiting for me here for the monster meat or for the city defense bureau."

"Both."

Zhou An did not avoid his gaze and spoke frankly.

"However, Junior Brother knows that with his current cultivation level, he is not qualified to enter the city defense bureau. Besides, Master just kept Senior Brother and Senior Brother Fang to talk..."

The candidates to join the city defense division have already been arranged.

Therefore, the junior brother's goal is to become a member of the Night's Watch.

I wonder if, after joining the Night Watch, besides exchanging merit points for monster meat, it's possible to exchange them for cultivation techniques.

If my cultivation level reaches the required standard in the future, will I be able to directly join the City Defense Division?

"Junior Brother Zhou, have you thought this through?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Tao's expression turned serious.

"Without attaining supernatural powers, one will remain but an ant."

Meeting Guo Tao's gaze, Zhou An spoke with unwavering certainty.

"If Senior Brother Guo's previous guess is true, I don't want to miss this opportunity to turn things around."

"There is more than one way to cultivate supernatural powers than the City Defense Division. With your current cultivation level, Junior Brother, you may have the opportunity to enter the realm of supernatural powers through the inner city in the future."

Guo Tao shook his head. Although he was trying to persuade Zhou An, his eyes were fixed on Zhou An's every move.

"I've tried countless times, knowing that opportunities will only come once or twice."

If you can't seize opportunities when they arise, what future can you talk about?

Zhou An clenched his fist and said with a firm gaze.

At first, he thought that as long as he had enough money, he could drink as much Guiyuan Soup as he wanted.

But reality told him that the Guiyuan Soup at Zhengyang Martial Arts School was rationed and could not be consumed indiscriminately.

He wanted to buy rhinoceros meat.

However, Uncle Fu said that the black market for this month had already ended, and it would take at least another month.

Although both Shunfeng Escort Agency and Chen Wen have extended olive branches to him, offering him this meat.

But who knows if other unexpected events will occur later?

The chance of gaining supernatural powers within the City Defense Division is much greater than the chance of gaining meat.

Since the future is uncertain, let's make the most of the present.

Zhou An had also thought about it.

With his high talent and the advantage of having a cheat code, he will surely be able to easily reach a level of cultivation that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, given enough time.

But looking at Guo Tao, who had just returned from the city defense headquarters... would there really be time left for him?

Gamblers who gamble recklessly will end up with nothing.

Zhou An doesn't mind gambling, but he prefers to make the most of the limited time he has.

"Someone is cultivating the Blood Realm, seizing every opportunity that might appear before them, regardless of the consequences."

Some people, despite having already reached the required cultivation level, choose to retreat at the last minute.

Looking at the determined young man before him, Guo Tao couldn't help but recall Fang Xu, who had left tactfully with a smile earlier.

Before this, even though Fang Xu refused to go to the city defense bureau, he thought he had been too hasty and that Fang Xu's choice was more prudent and cautious.

But now, after comparing the two, Guo Tao suddenly had a sudden realization.

Yes, opportunities often only come once or twice.

For martial artists like them who lack resources, how can they rise above others if they don't risk their lives?

"If you are truly determined to go to the City Defense Division with me, you can find me at the address under the sycamore tree at No. 27 Sifang Lane within three days."

At that time, I will arrange for my junior brother to join the Night Watch under the City Defense Division.

"Once your junior brother's cultivation reaches the required level, he will naturally bring you into the City Defense Division."

Guo Tao didn't probe any further and spoke directly.

"There's no need to wait three days. Junior brother, go and explain things to Master right now."

Meeting Guo Tao's gaze, Zhou An immediately spoke.

"Senior Brother Zhou, if you go to the City Defense Division to become a night watchman, who will guide me? We made a promise."

Seeing Zhou An turn and leave, Chen Wen, who was standing to the side, quickly said something, looking extremely nervous.

"The duty of the night watchmen is to patrol the city walls and the shantytowns for peace and quiet, and they work day and night shifts."

Day shift, from 9 AM to 7 PM.

Night shift, from 7 PM to 7 AM the following day.

Each shift has at least three teams that take turns resting. Under normal circumstances, there is one day off every seven days.

For the first half of the month, I can have Junior Brother Zhou patrol during the day under the guise of familiarizing himself with the environment.

For the latter half of the month, they will switch to night patrols.

If Junior Brother Chen needs any guidance, he only needs to coordinate a time with Junior Brother Zhou.

After saying this, Guo Tao cupped his hands in greeting to Uncle Fu.

"That's about all for today. To avoid Master holding me accountable later, I'll take my leave now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Tao turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

He was very satisfied with Zhou An's performance today.

But his satisfaction doesn't mean his own master is satisfied.

A disciple who had only recently entered the Blood Refining Realm and was already able to overpower the old镖师 (bodyguard/escort) was lured away by him.

Even though Guo Tao didn't initially have this idea, he still had to avoid Xu Tai's sharp edge.

"Senior Brother Zhou, are you really going to become a night watchman in the city defense department?"

Watching Guo Tao turn and walk away, Chen Wen looked at Zhou An with a complicated expression.

He couldn't figure it out.

I've already offered such good treatment, why did this Senior Brother Zhou still choose such a dangerous place?

"If you wish to advance to the realm of supernatural powers, I can devise a plan for you once you reach the third stage of Blood Refining."

After all, the sects within the inner city were originally established by cultivators with supernatural powers to recruit disciples.

"Junior Brother Chen, you're very kind."

Upon hearing this, Zhou An's heart stirred, and he smiled slightly.

"However, I only want to seize the moment. If you are truly capable, then let me become a Night Watchman and also a servant of your family."

I don't care about silver or anything like that.

"I only need my junior brother to buy rhinoceros meat for my cultivation."

"You're a night watchman and a merchant on secondment; aren't you afraid of being overwhelmed and biting off more than you can chew?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Fu, who was standing to the side, said irritably.

"Only children make choices; I'm an adult now."

Zhou An smiled, left a message, and walked directly towards the door.

"The curator is in his study, heading east."

Looking at Zhou An's retreating figure, Uncle Fu suddenly said something.

"Thank you, Uncle Fu."

Zhou An paused, thanked him without turning his head, and then quickened his pace.

Before long, the study came into view.

"Jingxinzhai".

Zhou An looked up and saw three large, elegant characters in a distant view.

The distance has decreased.

Zhou An could even see Xu Tai and Xu Hongyu arguing about something in the small courtyard in front of the study.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Xu."

"The old man is inside. If it's about the temporary posting, don't be polite with him."

Xu Hongyu snorted coldly, glanced back at Xu Tai, and then stormed out of the study.

"What are you doing here?"

Perhaps he had just had a fight with his beloved daughter, Xu Tai said irritably as he looked at Zhou An entering the courtyard.

"Reporting to Master, this disciple has just greeted Senior Brother Guo Tao..."

Zhou An cupped his hands in greeting, about to explain his purpose.

However, at that moment, the hairs on his body suddenly stood on end, and a chilling sense of dread surged into his heart.
