After hanging up the Demon Suppression Order, Li Cheng turned to the elder behind the counter and asked, “I heard that one can select a residence at the Demon-suppressing Department?”
With a casual wave of his hand, a light screen appeared before everyone, “This is the architectural map of the Demon-suppressing Department. There are currently over a hundred available, and you may choose any marked green!”
Kong Lianqing looked confused, “Some of these are Heaven Level residences, aren’t they supposed to be for four-star Demon-suppressing Envoys only? Can Li Cheng choose as well?”
The elder nodded,”The chief commissioner ordered it!”
He himself was puzzled, as it was already an exception promoting him to a one-star Demon-suppressing Envoy, let alone allowing him to freely choose any residence — even Princess Kong Lianqing didn’t have such treatment.
The few Heaven Level residences available were even more expansive than the one that Kong Lianqing bought, but Li Cheng knew that choosing those would invariably invite unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, he decided to take a step back and settle for a more modest one with a few hundred square meters, which would be sufficient for his needs. He could always purchase a better one outside once he had the money.
“This one will do,” Li Cheng pointed to a rather ordinary small courtyard.
The elder nodded inwardly, appreciating that Li Cheng, whether he had connections or not, at least had the sense to not choose the higher-level Earth or Heaven level residences.
On the other side, Xiao Changting and Kong Linfeng were both overjoyed, keeping their eyes on Yin Yue.
“Who would’ve thought, this young girl has not yet stepped into the Heaven God State, and yet, she managed to trigger seven chimes. If she undergoes the Heaven and Earth Baptism and becomes a Heaven God, possibly eight or even nine chimes might be within reach!” Xiao Changting said with a smile.
Kong Linfeng, with his hands behind his back, nodded slightly, “Changting, you have no children of your own, and this young girl is clever. Why not take her as your adopted daughter?”
Xiao Changting’s heart stirred, and he quickly bowed, “I cannot disobey the imperial decree. I shall certainly do my utmost to nurture my adopted daughter!”
Kong Linfeng was speechless, “Don’t get too carried away. I am suggesting it as a friend, not as… Anyway, I will issue an edict then!”
Xiao Changting taking an adopted daughter on his own initiative, and being ordered by the emperor to do so, were naturally not the same.
The latter signified royal favor!
In the future, under the heavens, surely no one would dare to harm the girl.
Xiao Changting smiled satisfactorily, “She is Li Cheng’s apprentice, and my adopted daughter, hmm, quite good!”
In the Affairs Hall, it didn’t take long before Yin Yue came trotting over.
To Kong Lianqing’s surprise, she had also directly obtained a one-star Demon Suppression Order!
But she soon understood; this girl must have made the Demon Suppression Bell chime more than seven times, hence being exempted from the probationary period.
Not yet a Heaven God, yet already a Demon-suppressing Envoy, one wonders what feelings the other Envoys would have upon learning of this.
“What are your plans next? Take on missions, or rest first?” Kong Lianqing asked.
“I’d like to visit the library first. My knowledge of the Divine Realm is too scant; it’s inconvenient for action,” Li Cheng replied.
Kong Lianqing nodded, “Together!”
And so, the three of them headed towards the Kongqian Library under Kong Lianqing’s lead.
Li Cheng was somewhat surprised to find that the Kongqian Library was actually within the royal palace, though just at the edge — still royal palace territory!
And the guards watching over the library clearly recognized Kong Lianqing, greeting her respectfully and allowing them to pass.
Even if they didn’t recognize her, they would have to acknowledge the Demon Suppression Order.
Inside the library was a universe in itself, with all knowledge stored in the form of Jade Slips. Each Jade Slip contained a sea of information.
Li Cheng’s main purpose in reading was to understand the three ways of the Pill Artifact Array, so as to truly become a Divine Master.
He wasn’t disappointed; the records in the library were extremely comprehensive, having everything one could wish for.
Leveraging his powerful Divine Soul, in half a day, Li Cheng had scanned all the Jade Slips in the library, going from knowing very little about the Divine Realm to a deep understanding.
Li Cheng was sorting out the various knowledge in his mind, and finally focused on knowledge related to Formations, preparing to achieve Enlightenment and thoroughly integrate it.
But at that moment, the Demon Suppression Order at his waist gave a faint tremble!
