Chapter 88
The Power and the Abundance of Harvest!
Gu Lin took the sealed bamboo slip.
The bamboo slips were inscribed with the five large characters "Xin Zhai Shou Yi Jue" (心斋守一诀).
His eyes were full of gratitude.
One day, I will definitely repay this venerable one in purple robes.
They sent me both a Heaven-rank Gu poison and a high-grade Earth-rank Confucian classic!
Especially the Heavenly Rank Gu Medicine; apart from the three-level promotion, all the other rewards in the competition combined cannot compare to the value of this Gu Medicine.
This kindness must be remembered!
Cao Baihu finally took out a key and smiled:
"From now on, you will work in Ding Chenfang's office."
"The trial centurion has sixty subordinates. The upper echelons of the East Temple have decided to assign you forty-five new men. Any objections?"
Gu Lin said in a firm and powerful voice:
"We will comply with the decision of the authorities!"
With all his subordinates being newcomers, he is easier to manage.
As for his lack of combat strength, he is now a probationary centurion and can fully mobilize high-level combat forces from the subordinate offices of the sword-wielding officials!
Mountain and sea realm?
With a single order, ten Mountain and Sea Realms stood ready for battle!
Therefore, this is not a case of superiors making things difficult, but rather a sign of their high regard for the situation.
Who would want to have a group of unruly people under their command, and then waste time and energy taming them?
The young leader of Chuzhou has a different status in Dongsi Temple!
Cao Baihu said loudly:
"Go and see your subordinates."
Gu Lin nodded.

Beyond the continuous palace buildings, there was a training ground ten zhang wide and long, where sixty elite cavalrymen from the East Temple waited quietly.
The five, including Feng Nu and Hua Nu, were the oldest, only twenty-six years old.
Each of these young figures was an outstanding prodigy from the land of Chu, a towering figure in the outside world.
The drill ground was silent, and everyone looked serious.
Until the sound of light footsteps approached.
A young figure clad in a snow-white robe embroidered with the mythical beast Xie Zhi slowly approached. The sixty men, their faces filled with awe and tinged with fervent worship, stood in perfect unison.
"Welcome, Lord Gu!"
The voice was loud and resounding, full of passion and fervor.
Gu Lin glanced around at everyone and nodded slightly:
"Serving under my command, do not cause trouble, but do not be afraid of trouble either. As long as you are in the right, I will back you up!"
"Furthermore, to assess your abilities, each of you must go to the mission building to receive a mission: capture the wanted demon criminal and imprison him in the Ghost Slayer's Jail. I will interrogate him in detail to judge your performance. Those with outstanding abilities will naturally be given important responsibilities!"
"Flower Girl, Wind Girl, Iron Fist, Folding Fan, and Mute, you five will be responsible for selecting tasks and will temporarily serve as managers!"
The five men were extremely excited and respectfully accepted the order.
Whether Lord Gu is a squad leader or a sergeant, they will remain loyal!
They are Lord Gu's true confidants!
The remaining fifty-five elite cavalrymen were all eager to try, unwilling to be outdone, and all hoped to be given an important position by Lord Gu!
Gu Lin strolled leisurely, memorizing each face, before walking away.
This is the advantage that comes with status!
That's why he's so determined to climb higher!
If I were still a cavalryman, personally carrying out missions, each mission would take at least a month, and fifty-five missions would take several years!
But now, he has sixty elites working for him!
Although participation is extremely low and merit points will be greatly reduced, the cumulative effect of sixty tasks will be an extremely terrifying number.
Breaking through to the Knowing Destiny Realm is easy, and you might even climb higher and higher!
This is just one of the wonders of power.
......
Back at the Gengyin Office, Gu Lin was packing up his things and moving to a new place.
A stunningly beautiful woman in a snow-white official robe embroidered with the mythical beast Xie Zhi walked over.
Gu Lin smiled. "You've finally arrived."
Xuanyuan Qin's voice was cold as ice, his tone chilling:
"Don't you understand the proper etiquette and hierarchy?"
Gu Lin could only clasp his hands in a gesture of respect:
"Greetings, Lord Xuanyuan."
Xuanyuan Qinyin stared at him coldly for a long time, then said with chilling intent:
"Deliberate deception, utterly shameless!"
Gu Lin said frankly:
"It was Lord Xuanyuan who initiated the bet from the very beginning."
Xuanyuan Qinyin spoke urgently, leaving no room for argument:
"The bet is unfair; you're completely cheating your boss, Toji."
Gu Lin remained calm and composed.
"Since it bears Lord Xuanyuan's seal, let the Dao Discipline Division judge it."
Xuanyuan Qinyin gritted her teeth, wishing she could skin this shameless scoundrel alive. She sat upright in the armchair, her tone no longer harsh:
"If it weren't for me, you would still be a squad leader before the competition, but now you're just a flag officer. Here's what we'll do: I won't hold the mirage incident against you anymore, and I'll give you another 50,000 contribution points."
Gu Lin resolutely refused:
"Lord Xuanyuan, please accept your defeat! If you insist on reneging, it will tarnish your reputation!"
He knew that Xuanyuan Qinyin valued face very much.
"Fine, very well!" Xuan Yuan Qin Yin was extremely frustrated. She coldly muttered a few words, then burst into a rage:
"I'll take this loss!"
"This is the second time already, don't you dare fall for my tricks!"
Having said that, he took out three low-grade earth-rank magic treasures from his storage ring and said in a cold voice:
"It will offset 100,000 contribution points."
Gu Lin directly denied it:
"No!"
Xuanyuan Qin Yin countered sharply:
"It's not about what you want, it's about what I have!"
Gu Lin smiled and said, emphasizing each word:
"Lord Xuanyuan, have you forgotten the unspoken rules of our Holy Land? The so-called contribution point trading is based on what the other party needs, and then the latter exchanges it with contribution points."
"Low-grade Earth-rank magic treasures are indeed precious, but I already have a mid-grade Earth-rank magic treasure. I don't even have a storage ring, so how could I possibly have several magic treasures on my person?"
Xuanyuan Qinyin closed her eyes to calm her mind and took out seventy-two top-grade spirit stones, three hundred and eighty-one high-grade spirit stones, and nearly a thousand mid-grade spirit stones from her storage ring.
After six years of hard work in the holy land, the resources I received from my family have now been exhausted, and my spirit stones are all gone!
Her heart was bleeding, and she said coldly:
"Equivalent to 110,000 contribution points."
The sandalwood table was piled high with spiritual energy, filling the entire office.
Gu Lin nodded in satisfaction:
"Okay, you have 190,000 contribution points left."
Xuanyuan Qinyin felt dizzy and continued to take out eleven spiritual herbs from her storage ring. The best one was of the upper grade of the Xuan rank, and the worst one was of the lower grade of the Xuan rank.
she says:
"It can nourish acupoints, enhance physical strength, and is worth an additional 110,000 contribution points."
Gu Lin was speechless.
"How could it possibly be worth 110,000 contribution points?"
"At most 50,000."
"Ninety thousand!"
"Just fifty thousand."
"Seventy thousand! If you dare to utter another word, I will break the contract even if it means losing all face!" Xuan Yuan Qin Yin suddenly stood up.
Gu Lin hesitated for a moment:
"Seventy thousand it is, that leaves twelve hundred thousand contribution points."
He does indeed need elixirs to enhance his physical acupoints.
This Lady Xuanyuan is indeed a wealthy woman; she was able to produce so many fine things.
Xuanyuan Qinyin suppressed her heartache; her trip south to Chuzhou would cost her her entire fortune upon returning to Shengzhou.
Seeing that she didn't move, Gu Lin was quite understanding:
"It's alright. Once Lord Xuanyuan has accumulated enough contribution points, I will send another message to remind him."
Xuanyuan Qinyin's face was shrouded in icy coldness as she stared at him for a long time before angrily shouting:
"I'll remember you! Don't fall into my hands!"
After saying that, she bent down and stared into Gu Lin's eyes, then left angrily.
"Respectfully seeing off Lord Xuanyuan."
Gu Lin went out to see the guest off.
Xuanyuan Qinyin turned around and sneered:
"The Celestial Hunting Banquet will be held again!"
"Improve your feeble strength as soon as possible; I don't want you to die in the underground cave!"
Having said that, Ta Li was about to leave Chuzhou, this place of sorrow.
Gu Lin respectfully saw him off, and then returned to his office.
I'm a millionaire now!
