Chapter 664: Chapter 26: Sect Deacon [2-in-1]_2

The Pill Furnace Hall was where Chu Liang frequently visited before. His alchemy technique had once made significant progress, and he was a valued disciple under closed-door instruction with the Pill Furnace Elder.

However, his path gradually deviated. Instead of using alchemy to reach the pinnacle, he used the business of alchemy to get rich, which made the Pill Furnace Elder sigh in regret.

The Law Enforcement Hall has always been the most difficult to enter, but it should not pose much difficulty for Chu Liang.

Once there, one becomes the law enforcer in Shu Mountain, unlike those little disciples who are normally there just to do odd jobs. The duties of a deacon in Law Enforcement Hall carry a lot of authority, being able to administer punishment within the sect. Under the leadership of the Law Enforcement Elder, the Law Enforcement Hall is an entity that all the disciples fear and avoid.

Aside from the Sword Exchange Pavilion and the four main halls, Shu Mountain also has many other halls dealing with various affairs.

For example, the Earth-Wood Hall, Dining Hall, Foreign Affairs Hall, Astronomy Hall, Rejuvenation Hall, Agriculture Hall... These halls do not hold much power and are merely responsible for managing routine tasks within the sect. The deacon disciples in these halls are generally those without greater ambitions. It is rare for the upper echelons of Shu Mountain to emerge from these halls.

Chu Liang pondered on his way back to Silver Sword Peak.

By that time, Chu Yi had returned from his Law Protection Hall class. Upon seeing Chu Liang land, he eagerly greeted him.

"Senior Brother!" he called out with a smile.

When he was little, he called Chu Liang "Big Brother," but now that he formally started cultivating, they now addressed each other as brothers.

He was now roughly twelve years old. Tall and thin, he looked like he would grow quite tall. His skin was fair, and his features were elegant, appearing cultured and refined when he smiled. Dressed in a robe of white, he carried an aristocratic air about him.

He looked very much like Chu Liang.

Chu Liang noticed that Chu Yi had already reached the Third Realm at the age of twelve, and couldn’t help but admire his true talent.

Aside from freaks like Qi Lin’er who omitted some steps, geniuses in the Immortal Sect advanced through the Human level extremely quickly. Chu Liang himself reached the Third Realm at seventeen, which was quite mediocre.

Of course, it was also because of this that Chu Liang’s rise was all the more spectacular.

Chu Yi’s cultivation level today wasn’t due to the teaching of Empress Feng. His actual teacher was Senior Brother Yuan Zhuo.

"I heard that you’re now in charge of the Red Cotton Peak. That’s impressive," Chu Liang said with a slight smile.

"I’ve just been doing things according to the methods you left behind, I haven’t contributed anything myself," Chu Yi replied with a smile.

Opening the familiar small loft, Chu Liang began talking about his selection of a hall to serve as a deacon.

Empress Feng gave her important opinion on this issue.

"In my opinion, choosing a hall should be done cautiously. We should plan for the long term." She rested her chin on her hand and analyzed seriously, "Actually, I think both the Chuan Jian Hall and the Pill Furnace Hall are good options. These two halls hold significant power and are responsible for the collection of materials and spirit plants in Shu Mountain. If you get into such a hall, you’ll handle a great deal of resources."

"Of course, you should not embezzle money. When the time comes, you will enforce the rules and Chu Yi will do business. The two of you will support each other, one with power and the other with money. People who want to get things done with you will have to buy things from him, and the money he makes will support your operations. This way, won’t all of Shu Mountain belong to our Silver Sword Peak?"

"..." Chu Liang fell silent.

Empress Feng continued, "The Law Protection Hall is also a good choice. You can study the classics there, and it’s quite reputable. At that time, you two will play different roles. One of you is the face of Silver Sword Peak, and the other is the backbone of Silver Sword Peak. Success depends on him, and the rehabilitation depends on you. With this double assurance, you can’t lose."

"..." Chu Liang’s silence grew somewhat longer.

Empress Feng further suggested, "Of course, I still think the Law Enforcement Hall is the best. You know, we, as outsiders, should have a few of our own people in the Law Enforcement Hall. By then, one of you will play good cop and the other bad cop. You cover for him, and he supports you. Ensuring he gets more benefits than others, and you get more credit than others, both of you can prosper together."

"..." Chu Liang sighed.

Regardless of anything else, when it comes to breaking the law, the Empress absolutely outpaces her era by two thousand years.

He paused a moment before changing the topic, "Given your savvy in this area, which hall did you join in the past?"

According to Empress Feng’s money-making ideas, she either had a high-profile occupation or was imprisoned, so how could she and her disciple have ended up so pitiful?

"..." This time, it was Empress Feng’s turn to fall silent.

After a while, she grumbled, "If there had been a hall willing to accept me back then, would I have ended up in this plight? I had to resort to seizing a Peak Master!"

At this, Chu Liang couldn’t help but respect all the elders who had stood firm under pressure and refused to take Empress Feng into their halls in the past.

They were truly Shu Mountain’s blessing.

...

After the dangerously enlightening conversation with Empress Feng, Chu Liang returned to his long-abandoned log cabin.

The furnishings in the cabin remained untouched and spotlessly clean, indicating that someone had been regularly cleaning it. After some thought, he concluded that it must have been Chu Yi who was kind enough to do so.

Instead of rushing off to meet his old friends, Chu Liang sat cross-legged and circulated his energy. He then took out a spirit plant.

For him, although he hadn’t cultivated for six years, the path of cultivation was very smooth.

Although he still maintained the cultivation level of the Fifth Stage and the Third Level, he was now in possession of a Double Dharma Body and a complete understanding of a major principle, not to mention that he would never lack resources.

That is to say, if the circulation speed of the Big Head Baby was fast enough, he would be able to breakthrough as soon as his cultivation level was achieved. As long as he broke through to the Perfection Stage of the Fifth Stage, he, who possesses a Double Dharma Body, can naturally promote immediately.
