96: The inventory of spiritual objects from heaven and earth, the opportunity to break through to become a Grandmaster of the Outer Realm!

As Li Chengfeng, the Blackbird Guard in charge of a prefecture, he naturally understood Lu Xuan's meaning.

However, Li Chengfeng was not surprised.

There were many Blackbird Guards like him, in charge of other Fu Cities, who embezzled funds, and as long as it wasn't too excessive, it was fine.

After learning that the amount of Heavenly Spiritual Objects was insufficient and that he could request more from Tiandu, Lu Xuan's eyes deepened, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

As for Li Chengfeng's later remark about not being too excessive, Lu Xuan naturally pretended not to hear it.

"Uncle Feng, if it's truly as you say, then joining the Blackbird Guard is fine."

Lu Xuan deliberated for a moment before stating his decision.

"Hahahaha!"

"Very good, Xuan Xiaoyou, rest assured, the Blackbird Guard will definitely not disappoint you."

Li Chengfeng burst into hearty laughter when he saw Lu Xuan finally agree to join the Blackbird Guard.

"Oh, right, Xuan Xiaoyou, I almost forgot to tell you something," Li Chengfeng suddenly remembered something, then stopped laughing and spoke directly.

"The Blackbird Guard's ranks are divided into Heaven, Earth, Xuan, Yellow, and Human. Heaven and Earth-level Blackbird Guards are mostly in Tiandu, while Xuan Level Blackbird Guards are in charge of prefectures."

"Human Rank Xuan Bird Guards receive an annual salary of one hundred taels and ten portions of highly tonic medicinal materials."

"Huang Grade Xuan Niao Guards receive an annual salary of one thousand taels, twenty portions of highly tonic medicinal materials, and one portion of a low-grade Heavenly Spiritual Object."

"Xuan Level Blackbird Guards receive an annual salary of three thousand taels, ten portions of low-grade spiritual objects, and one portion of a middle-grade heaven and earth treasure."

.........

After listening to Li Chengfeng's introduction, Lu Xuan understood that the Blackbird Guard's salary mainly consisted of items that were greatly beneficial to martial artists.

Highly tonic medicinal materials and Heavenly Spiritual Objects.

These items were difficult to measure by their silver price; they were precious resources that were priceless and rarely available.

Therefore, the amount of silver disbursed in the salary was not something the Blackbird Guards cared about.

What they needed most were highly tonic medicinal materials and Heavenly Spiritual Objects.

Only these could rapidly improve their martial arts cultivation.

This was also why Zhao Sheng and the others were so frantic when they obtained the Blood Refinement Realm Major Achievement demonic beast flesh.

The demonic beast flesh of a Blood Refinement Realm Major Achievement was comparable in value to a portion of a middle-grade heaven and earth treasure.

That was something they could never obtain in their lives.

So Zhao Sheng and those few people at the time wished they could kowtow to Lu Xuan a few times and acknowledge him as their foster father!

"Xuan Xiaoyou, with your astonishing strength, upon joining the Blackbird Guard, I plan to..."

Lu Xuan raised his head slightly and looked at Li Chengfeng calmly, his expression unchanged.

"Take my place and govern Baidao Prefecture City for me!"

Li Chengfeng slowly spoke these words.

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Lu Xuan's eyebrows slightly raised, and he looked at Li Chengfeng in surprise, wondering why he would make such a decision.

Lu Xuan, having just heard Li Chengfeng's explanation, naturally knew that Xuan Level Blackbird Guards were typically martial artists at the Inner Qi Realm Major Achievement.

However, what Lu Xuan didn't expect was that Li Chengfeng would directly hand over the Blackbird Guard of Baidao Prefecture City to him to manage.

Li Chengfeng's decision made even the usually calm and composed Lu Xuan feel it was a wild fantasy.

"I'm to govern Baidao Prefecture City?"

"Then where will Uncle Feng go?"

Lu Xuan thought Li Chengfeng was joking with him.

"Hehe, Xuan Xiaoyou, you heard correctly."

"With your strength, serving as a Xuan Level Blackbird Guard for a Fu City is more than enough."

"Of course, I don't mean for Xuan Xiaoyou to always serve as the Blackbird Guard of Baidao Prefecture City.

Rather, it's to govern Baidao Prefecture City for me for a few months, as I have some matters to return to Tiandu for, don't I?"

"Otherwise, with Xuan Xiaoyou's supreme talent, how could I dare to keep you in a small place like An Prefecture's Baidao Prefecture?"

"Presumably, it won't be long before Xuan Xiaoyou will definitely go to Tiandu; that is where your world truly lies."

So he's returning to Tiandu, and that's why he's letting me temporarily govern the Blackbird Guard of Baidao Prefecture City?

That's quite reasonable.

However, Lu Xuan thought of some other issues and spoke, "Uncle Feng, do the Blackbird Guards here know about your decision?"

"Also, isn't it necessary to go to the Celestial Capital Xuan Bird Guard headquarters to verify one's identity to serve as a Xuan Level Blackbird Guard?"

Lu Xuan certainly had no objections to Li Chengfeng's decision.

Now Lu Xuan was worried about whether the Blackbird Guards here would obey his orders.

And the approval from the Celestial Capital Xuan Bird Guard headquarters.

If these two problems were not resolved, then Lu Xuan's every move would be affected.

"Xuan Xiaoyou, don't worry about that. As for Tiandu, once I return, I will report to them."

"As for the Blackbird Guards here, they naturally obey the Mystic Envoy's command."

"With Xuan Xiaoyou's strength, feel free to deal with them; I will absolutely stand by your side, Xuan Xiaoyou..."

Lu Xuan understood Li Chengfeng's meaning.

That was, with your astonishing strength, feel free to discipline them, and don't worry about his feelings.

If that were the case, then everything would be stable.

"Hahaha!"

"Xuan Xiaoyou, then Baidao Prefecture City will be handed over to you from today onwards."

As Li Chengfeng spoke, he also extended a hand and took out a dark green token from his waist, with several large characters carved on it.

Li Chengfeng! Mystic Envoy!

"I will send someone to convey the order shortly, gather all the Huang Grade Xuan Niao Guards, and the two Deputy Mystic Envoys, and inform them of my decision."

Lu Xuan glanced at the token Li Chengfeng handed over, did not decline, and directly took it.

"Alright!"

Just right, Lu Xuan was still thinking about how to obtain a large amount of system points to break through to Outer Strength Grandmaster.

Breaking through to Outer Strength Grandmaster would still require some time.

Unexpectedly, this opportunity to break through to Outer Strength Grandmaster appeared before him just like that.

Now, the inventory of the Blackbird Guard, the low-grade Heavenly Spiritual Objects and the middle-grade heaven and earth treasure.

If he consumed a portion first, it should be enough for him to break through to the Outer Strength Grandmaster Realm, right?

Yes, the moment Lu Xuan took Li Chengfeng's token, he had already set his sights on the Heavenly Spiritual Objects.

Strength was the foundation of everything, and Lu Xuan naturally understood this principle.

With an opportunity to break through realms presented before him, Lu Xuan would certainly not let it go.

Just as Lu Xuan was about to ask Li Chengfeng where those Heavenly Spiritual Objects were stored.

Whoosh!

Outside the hall door, a gust of wind struck, and a man dressed in a teal Blackbird Guard uniform appeared outside the hall door.

He looked solemn, walked in quickly, clasped his hands, and saluted Li Chengfeng, saying,

"Mystic Envoy, there's an anomaly in Baidao Prefecture City."

"The Grand Elder of the Tianhai Gang, and the young gang master of the Tianhai Gang, Hua Jianghe, have gone missing!"

"It is suspected that the Fengyue Brothel Ghost has revived early!"
