Chapter 87
The Day of Promotion, Snow-White Official Robe!
Sunset City.
As dusk settled, the restaurant was bustling with noise.
Gu Changchuan, Lin Biaotou, and the chubby Wang Mu were drinking and playing drinking games. Since the escort agency closed down, the three of them had nothing to do.
Just as they were enjoying their drinks, a sudden uproar erupted outside the restaurant as guests rushed out of the doors.
Immediately following this was a thunderous roar of cheers.
Gu Changchuan and the other two found it strange and went out to see what was going on.
I had just stepped across the threshold when I looked up at the night sky.
Flocks of white cranes flew south.
The white cranes formed the characters "Gu Lin".
In an instant, Gu Changchuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole body trembled.
Being in Luoxia City, he was naturally aware of this scene.
Gu Changchuan felt dizzy and his lips trembled with excitement. He shouted hysterically:
"Gu Lin and Gu Jingming are my sons, yet they are still not up to par..."
After saying that, he was so excited that he fell to the ground.
"Uncle Gu... Uncle Gu..." Wang Mu quickly helped Gu Changchuan up and patted him awake.
Gu Changchuan slowly woke up, his eyes red-rimmed, his emotions almost bursting.
A deathly silence fell over the surroundings.
Countless guests stared at him in disbelief, their eyes wide with disbelief.
They then clasped their hands in a uniform salute, their expressions extremely respectful.
The champion of the Chuzhou Grand Competition has been decided.
Gu Lin!
It's not the famous Brahma Battle Body that everyone knows!
He was not the noble and promising scholar whom countless scholars in Chuzhou admired.

It was Gu Lin.
The restaurant fell into a deathly silence.
Wang Mu also felt dizzy, and images of the Shiyang Academy's Huangzi School Office floated through his mind, finally settling on the academy square.
He said he wanted to participate in the seeding tournament.
This one entry directly led to victory in Chuzhou!
The leader of this generation in Chuzhou!
Jingming took away such a heavy crown of honor.
"Changchuan, let's go back quickly. Officials from various departments in Chuzhou will definitely come to offer their congratulations."
Chief镖头 Lin reacted quickly, helping Gu Changchuan leave the restaurant.
The atmosphere in the markets and towns along the way was lively, with some people even beating gongs and drums and setting off firecrackers, making the entire city of Chuzhou bustling with excitement.
.......
Gengyin Fangshizhang Yamen.
Gu Lin slept soundly through the night, and when he woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
Yesterday's exertion was too great. Even with the nourishing pills, I was still exhausted.
Although he felt weak, the thought of his upcoming promotion invigorated Gu Lin. After washing up, he went to the meditation room to cultivate, but he couldn't calm down at all.
Around noon, heavy, rapid footsteps could be heard outside the government office.
Gu Lin straightened his official robes.
"Knock knock knock—"
A knock sounded on the door.
Gu Lin instinctively quickened his pace.
He paused for a moment, then slowly opened the door.
They were greeted by nearly ten officials from the Daoji Division.
One scroll, five boxes!
The leading official slowly unrolled the scroll, speaking in a measured tone:
"Gu Lin, the sergeant of the East Temple, has outshone all others in the grand competition in the sacred land and won the crown. In accordance with the decree of the Divine Dynasty, he has been specially promoted to the position of trial centurion of the East Temple. It is hoped that he will work diligently and strive for even greater achievements, so as not to tarnish the prestige of the East Temple. In addition, he is responsible for managing his subordinates and maintaining the stability of the yamen..."
Compared to the shizhang (a military unit), the shibaihu (a military unit) had many more rules.
After all, Shi Baihu was just one step away from entering the middle ranks of the Holy Land!
Gu Lin suppressed his excitement and respectfully accepted the scroll.
The officials of the Daoji Division all left.
Gu Lin eagerly opened the largest box, and what came into view was a snow-white official robe with the image of a mythical beast.
He gently stroked every part of the official robe, captivated by its silky smooth texture, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
Especially the ferocious Xie Zhi, which is incredibly lifelike.
Upon closer inspection, the Xie Zhi (a mythical beast) appears faintly tinged with blood, further enhancing its imposing and murderous atmosphere.
Every snow-white official robe had been soaked in the blood pool of the mythical beast Xie Zhi.
The only regret is that this xiezhi is too small; the embroidery is only the size of a round plate.
The robes of the centurions were adorned with a mythical beast (xiezhi) from the hem to the lapel, and the sleeves also featured fine xiezhi patterns.
Others could tell the difference between a hundred households and a trial hundred households at a glance.
Gu Lin opened the second box and tightly gripped the trial household token.
The third box contained a jade-colored belt and a document confirming a seventh-rank official position in the Divine Dynasty.
The fourth box contained an antique scroll and a long sword with a dark green body, its blade radiating a fierce aura and humming even when still.
Grand prize.
Low-grade Heavenly Rank cultivation technique.
A mid-grade Earth-rank magic treasure.
"The Nine Fiends Asura Codex." Gu Lin flipped through the scroll.
Despite it being a Heaven-rank cultivation technique, he had no intention of practicing it.
Eliminating sins and accumulating merit will surely lead to even more powerful methods in the Book of Merit!
Once one enters the Knowing Destiny Realm, one must cultivate techniques to gather vast true essence within the dantian.
Gu Lin smiled broadly, put the cultivation manual and magical treasures into the drawer, and then went to the quiet room to take a bath.
Half an hour later.
Cao Baihu arrived at the Gengyin Fang Yamen.
Gu Lin greeted them respectfully:
"Greetings, Lord Cao."
Cao Baihu stood in front of the door, staring intently at the person in front of him.
Young and handsome, he wore a snow-white official robe with the mythical beast Xie Zhi, exuding an imposing aura. Anyone who looked at him at a glance would know that he possessed unparalleled talent and held great power!
Cao Baihu said with a smile:
"congratulate."
Gu Lin clasped his hands in a fist and bow:
"Thank you for your guidance, Lord Cao."
Commander Cao shook his head and said sincerely:
"I should be thanking you."
"Those three centurions who went to Chuwei County together, including the Zhou from the Martial Peak Hall, were all severely punished by their respective holy lands, all because they were blind and missed you. And I, Cao Qingzhi, am commended by the central headquarters for this!"
Cao Baihu's tone was tinged with schadenfreude. He then lightly patted his gilded storage ring and took out a bag of spirit stones:
"This is a personal gift to you, three hundred high-grade spirit stones."
This is equivalent to 30,000 contribution points.
Gu Lin did not refuse, knowing that Lord Cao would receive even more.
Then, Cao Baihu took out one hundred crystal-clear spirit stones, each the size of a goose egg, containing abundant spiritual energy.
This is a top-grade spirit stone!
An ordinary cultivator might never see one in their entire life.
There were a hundred of them laid out in front of Gu Lin!
Commander Cao laughed and said:
"To bring unparalleled glory to Dongsi Temple, this is Dongsi Temple of Chuzhou's reward for you!"
Gu Lin accepted it respectfully, his emotions running high.
Isn't the point of giving your all in the competition all for this moment?
One hundred top-grade spirit stones are equivalent to one hundred thousand contribution points!
Cao Baihu then made a gesture of taking something out of his pocket.
Gu Lin's gaze fell on the gilded storage ring.
He must become a centurion!
He desperately wanted this storage ring.
Although storage bags are available outside, you can buy a small storage bag if you are willing to spend a lot of money.
However, the inside of the storage bag is extremely unstable, and the items inside are at risk of turning into dust at any time.
For a typical household member, storage bags are simply not a consideration.
The consequences would be unimaginable if important official documents were to be rolled up and turned to dust.
In the sacred land of the divine dynasty, leaving a record of everything is extremely important; once the official documents are lost, there is no way to defend oneself!
The storage rings were forged by the most powerful array masters of the Divine Dynasty, possessing the strongest spatial laws. Each one is unique, and there has never been a story of its internal space collapsing.
Commander Cao took out a yellowed bamboo slip, respectfully clasped his hands in a fist salute towards the top, and then said:
"Inside the Xiezhi Tower, Lord Yu promised to give you a top-grade Confucian classic."
As dusk settled, the restaurant was bustling with noise.
Gu Changchuan, Lin Biaotou, and the chubby Wang Mu were drinking and playing drinking games. Since the escort agency closed down, the three of them had nothing to do.
