45: Solution

On the way to the Demon Suppression Hall.

"Centurion Qin, I have a tricky problem right now."

"My Physical Body and Soul are out of sync; how should this situation be resolved?" Chu Jiang looked at Centurion Qin and began to ask.

Centurion Qin had been in the Demon Suppression Division for many years, so he should know a thing or two about such matters.

Centurion Qin's expression changed slightly, and his voice became somewhat low, "The Physical Body and Soul are out of sync?"

Ninety-nine percent of people would never encounter this situation.

It is too rare.

Generally speaking, a person's Soul controlling their Physical Body only consumes one-third of their Soul Power, while the remaining Soul Power resides in the Lingtai to deal with special situations.

If this situation appears.

Doesn't it mean that Chu Jiang's Physical Body has already far surpassed the average Vajra Realm?

He really struck gold.

Chu Jiang's expression was somewhat solemn as he spoke, "Does the Demon Suppression Division have a method of resolution?"

Given his current state, I am afraid that in another month, his Physical Body and Soul will be completely out of sync.

It must be resolved as soon as possible.

Centurion Qin focused and said, "The Demon Suppression Division has collected more than half of all kinds of classics, martial arts, and ancient histories in the world... Your problem naturally has a method of resolution."

"You only need to Cultivate a Lingtai Secret Technique, and once your Soul Power exceeds your Physical Body, the problem will naturally be solved."

"However..."

Chu Jiang frowned and said, "Does the Demon Suppression Division not have any Lingtai Secret Techniques?"

If even the Demon Suppression Division doesn't have them, I don't know where else in the world would.

"The Demon Suppression Division naturally has such books in its collection."

"Lingtai Secret Techniques, which specialize in cultivating the Soul, are extremely precious. Our Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division only has less than ten, and some of them are incomplete."

"Moreover, the resources in the Demon Suppression Division, whether they are Cultivation Techniques, martial arts, weapons, Medicinal Pills, and so on, can only be exchanged with Contribution Points."

"And the Contribution Points required to exchange for a Lingtai Secret Technique are an astronomical figure. The Soul is the core of a person, and only when one reaches the Grandmaster level does one begin to involve methods of cultivation."

"You won't be able to obtain it in a short time."

Centurion Qin said slowly. Chu Jiang's Physical Body clearly could not wait that long, and even if he could obtain a Lingtai Secret Technique, it would not be able to increase his Soul Power immediately.

The difficulty of cultivating a Lingtai Secret Technique is extremely high. Even if a Grandmaster spends decades of time, they might only barely manage to get started. The path of the Soul is mysterious and unpredictable.

Chu Jiang: "Besides a Lingtai Secret Technique, are there any other methods?"

He was not worried about the difficulty of cultivating a Soul technique.

He had a panel; no matter how difficult the cultivation was, if he threw hundreds of years of Lifespan into it, he didn't believe there wouldn't be any change.

It was just these Contribution Points that were a bit difficult to handle.

Last time, Zhang Sanbao reported the Black Tiger Mountain incident, and he was credited with the top achievement, so he was given fifty Contribution Points.

This was already considered a lot, equivalent to the contribution amount of an Earth-Grade mission.

The "Demon Suppression Division Entry Guide" mentioned it.

The missions of the Demon Suppression Division are divided into three levels.

Human-Grade missions correspond to the Innate level.

Earth-Grade missions correspond to the Vajra level.

Heaven-Grade missions are those that require a Grandmaster to handle.

Completing a Human-Grade mission can earn 1-5 Contribution Points. If the mission is special and requires long-term garrisoning, it might be higher, reaching ten or even twenty points; Zhang Sanbao is one such example.

Earth-Grade missions are above fifty Contribution Points.

As for Heaven-Grade, it is even higher; five hundred points is just the starting point, and thousands or even several thousands are possible.

It is indeed very difficult to exchange in the short term.

"Yes, when we see Commander Zuo in a while, I will explain your situation to him," Centurion Qin said.

"Good! Then I will trouble Centurion Qin!" Chu Jiang responded with a smile.

"Why be so polite? We are all our own people!" Centurion Qin smiled and waved his hand.

The two passed through layers of pavilions and arrived at the Demon Suppression Hall.

"Greetings, Commander Zuo!"

Chu Jiang looked into the Demon Suppression Hall at a person wearing a Commander's Qilin robe, with seven mysterious swords inserted into his back, emitting an eerie red light.

He saw him put down the book in his hand and smiled, "Sit down quickly; you made quite a stir in White Stone County this time."

"You actually defeated Gu Hongchen of the Sword King Sect and even demanded a thousand-year-old precious medicine from them. Well done, you have greatly boosted the prestige of our Demon Suppression Guard."

The smile on Commander Zuo's face became even brighter, and he expressed satisfaction with Chu Jiang's actions. Nowadays, the Great Chu Dynasty is plagued by internal and external troubles, and the people are living in misery.

Outside, demons are causing chaos; inside, Jianghu sects are restless, and there is also an Earth Fiend Hall hidden in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to act.

In such troubled times, only by using Ironblood means and stopping killing with killing can one suppress the world and restore peace to the land.

However, not all Commanders in the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division think like him.

Nowadays, demons are becoming increasingly rampant, and the Demon Suppression Division is exhausted from dealing with them. For these Jianghu sects in the rear, the main approach should be appeasement, supplemented by deterrence.

"This matter is thanks to Commander's support from behind!" Chu Jiang nodded and thanked him.

Along the way, Centurion Qin naturally told him about Commander Zuo. He did not expect Commander Zuo to value him so much.

If he were to suffer any loss, he would suppress and kill the Sword King Sect.

What majestic and domineering power.

Commander Zuo looked at Chu Jiang and said in a loud voice:

"By the way, the reason I called you here this time is because the once-every-decade Genius selection tournament of the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division is about to begin, and I have already submitted your name."

"The better you perform in the trial, the higher your final rating will be."

"The Genius rating is divided into four levels: Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding."

"The higher the rating, the richer the rewards."

Genius selection!

Centurion Qin's eyes flashed with a hint of heat in the hall; his age had already exceeded the maximum age for selection, which was forty.

However, when he was young, he had also participated and was rated as a Ding-level Genius.

The resources he obtained allowed him to advance rapidly in the Vajra Realm, and his combat power increased greatly.

The four Genius ratings of Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding were not set by the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division alone, but by the entire Great Chu, with a unified standard nationwide.

Even the lowest Ding-level Genius is already a Genius who can dominate a region in the outside world, but the Demon Suppression Division will not announce it to the outside world; instead, they will hide it.

Just like how the Demon Suppression Guard does not participate in the so-called "Human Ranking."

Back then, Commander Zuo won the top spot in the Genius selection tournament and was rated as an Yi-level Genius.

He was favored by the Yun Province Pacification Commissioner, who not only gave him Yi-level Genius treatment but also personally taught him for three months.

After that, he soared into the sky and became unstoppable.

At thirty-five, he advanced to the Grandmaster Realm and became a Commander of the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division.

Today, he is even the number one in terms of killing power among the dozen or so Commanders in Yunzhou, and is hailed as the person closest to the Pacification Commissioner in the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division.

Chu Jiang's eyes lit up; this was an opportunity. Although he had a panel, if he had the support of these Medicinal Pills and Heaven And Earth Treasure, the effect would be very different.

If he was going to go for it, he would go for the strongest.

First, set a small goal: win the Jia-level Genius rating.

As for hiding his strength, unless his brain was rusted.

He had already joined the Demon Suppression Division. As long as he did not betray the Human Race or the Demon Suppression Division, he would receive strong cultivation from the Demon Suppression Division.

The strength he displayed should naturally be as strong as possible.

"Oh, Commander, Chu Jiang's Physical Body strength has already exceeded his Soul control limit. Please take action to suppress it, otherwise, Chu's strength will be greatly affected."

Commander Zuo heard this and stretched out his right hand, pressing it into the void above Chu Jiang's forehead.

"What surging Qi and blood; your Physical Body is almost catching up to some of the weaker Grandmasters. No wonder your Soul cannot control it. You brat really gave me a surprise!"

"Wait a moment."

Half a quarter of an hour later.

Commander Zuo returned holding a treasure box containing a piece of spirit wood emitting a rosy glow. He said, "This is Taixu Spirit Wood, obtained from an ancient Secret Realm. Wearing it can harmonize the balance between Soul and Physical Body, and you will not be affected for several years."

Centurion Qin on the side was shocked and said, "Commander, this is something you obtained at a huge cost."

He originally thought that Commander Zuo would at most use his Grandmaster True Qi to help him suppress it.

He did not expect him to use this heavy treasure.

Commander Zuo waved his hand and said, "Chu Jiang is a rare Genius of our Demon Suppression Division. If we wait for him to exchange for a secret technique from the Scripture Pavilion, there will definitely be complications in the meantime."

Special Geniuses should be treated specially.

After Chu Jiang put on the Taixu Spirit Wood, he moved his body and felt much more relaxed. He bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Commander."

Although he did not recognize this Taixu Spirit Wood, judging by Centurion Qin's reaction, he knew that this thing was worth a lot.

"You are welcome," Commander Zuo waved his hand, "This Genius selection tournament is a major event for our Demon Suppression Division. You must go all out and strive for excellent results. If you can be rated as an Yi-level Genius, you can go to the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion and choose one."

"The third floor of the Scripture Pavilion houses the most precious martial arts and Cultivation Techniques of the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division, and there are also Lingtai Secret Techniques there. If you can obtain one, you can also solve your problem in advance."

Chu Jiang nodded solemnly, "This subordinate will certainly not fail Commander Zuo's expectations!"

"Hmm." Commander Zuo nodded with satisfaction, "You should go back and prepare first. There are not many days left until the selection tournament; I will send someone to notify you."

Chu Jiang clasped his fists again, and then left the Demon Suppression Hall with Centurion Qin.
