Chapter 1372: Chapter 849: The Immortal Touches My Head
With the arrival of the Level 10 Sect Affairs Officer, Ascension Realm Cultivator Fa Liuyuan, he became the center of attention at the scene.
Whether out of respect for the Level 10 Sect Affairs Officer, a desire to learn from this high-ranking member of the Wanfa Sect, or to capture some information, the attendees—many sect affairs officers and cultivators—focused their attention on Fa Liuyuan’s every move and word, listening intently to each syllable he spoke.
And when they heard the conversation between Old Gao and Fa Liuyuan, they were collectively shocked, turning their heads sharply to look at Old Gao standing at the back of the crowd.
Many cultivators were surprised: "This outsourced cultivator from the Lower Realm actually knows Heavenly Monarch Fa?"
Fa Liuyuan flashed his body and appeared before Old Gao, smiling as he said, "What can’t you remember? I, a dignified Ascension Cultivator, can’t possibly forget past memories?"
Meanwhile, Zhang Yu, Xiao Yunhe, and others hurriedly followed and stood beside Fa Liuyuan.
Fa Liuyuan continued, "I still remember the way you and your peers sat in meditation and breathing your first year; you were one of the best performers then."
"In the blink of an eye, everything’s changed, and there aren’t many of your batch of disciples left."
Gao Chongguang didn’t expect Fa Liuyuan would really remember him, was shocked, and said, "Grandmaster... the lessons you taught us, I’ve always kept in my heart and dared not forget."
"I know you remember."
While speaking, Fa Liuyuan patted Old Gao’s shoulder, as if comforting an excited child, and said, "I reviewed the Old Graveyard incident playback; you were the one from Wanfa who led to stabilize the situation, tell us about your judgment back then."
So, in front of many journalists, Old Gao recounted his thoughts at the time.
Listening to Gao Chongguang’s thoughts back then, Fa Liuyuan laughed heartily, pointed at him, and said to the side, "Look, there’s the vision, judgment, and dedication of an old civil engineering person."
"There were so many cultivators present back then, but how many dared to lead as he did? Kunxu may be developing better and better now, but many cultivators have forgotten the spirit of the past, which I’ve always worried about."
"Even many of our sect affairs officers are ashamed of such spirit, treating their civil engineering history as a black history. I say, what is black history? Forgetting the past is the real black history."
Fa Liuyuan said to the journalists in the distance, "When you report, don’t forget to promote this civil engineering spirit..."
The many cultivators present nodded repeatedly, regardless of their inner thoughts, they all praised Fa Liuyuan’s viewpoint with their words.
Fa Liuyuan then looked at Magnetic Pole and said, "You are also from Wanfa University, right? I remember you, the little girl who once gave up the admission opportunity."
As he spoke, Fa Liuyuan patted Old Gao’s head and Magnetic Pole’s head, smiling, "Good children, all good children, the sect requires talents like you."
Accompanying Fa Liuyuan’s touch, numbers danced atop Old Gao’s and Magnetic Pole’s heads, already rewarded with 100,000 Immortal Coins and 1,000 Taoist Merits.
But that’s not what truly surprised everyone... it was the admission tickets that appeared atop Old Gao’s and Magnetic Pole’s heads.
Looking at the admission ticket floating before him, Old Gao was astonished and said, "Master Ancestor, this is..."
Although holding the Sect Affairs Officer exams in the Lower Realm is already routine, given Old Gao and Magnetic Pole’s realm and age, they were not eligible to participate in the Examination Sect.
Yet this admission ticket allowed them to participate in the next Lower Realm Sect Examination.
Fa Liuyuan laughed heartily and said, "In light of your performance this time, the Ten Thousand Laws Hall specially approved... giving you two sect-protection activists the opportunity to participate in the next Lower Realm Sect Examination. Do well and do not disappoint the leaders’ expectations."
As he spoke, Fa Liuyuan already looked towards the direction of the journalists: "Wanfa Sect is doing this to tell all cultivators under heaven that the sect prioritizes talents, it is not just talk, even outsourced cultivators have an opportunity to take the sect examination."
Next to them, Yinquan looked at the admission tickets atop Old Gao’s and Magnetic Pole’s heads, already full of envy in his heart: "This is a privileged chance..."
On the other side, many journalists, watching Fa Liuyuan touch their heads and grant the admission tickets, already had a captivating news headline in mind: The Immortal Touches My Head, Re-Examining the Path to Longevity
Fa Liuyuan then came to Yu Xinghan and Ye Xingli.
"You are also Wanfa University graduates, right? This time Zhang Yu had the merit of mending the heavens, and you both contributed significantly, saving the sect from great losses."
As he spoke, Fa Liuyuan patted both of their heads, granting them each a Secondary Merit.
Miracle Merits, Upper Merits, Secondary Merits... Though Secondary Merits are ranked at the bottom, they aren’t easily acquired.
Especially for grassroots sect affairs officers like Yu Xinghan and Ye Xingli, establishing meritorious service is even more challenging, but once accomplished... it greatly assists in their level promotion.
Originally, Yu Xinghan and Ye Xingli were promoted to Zhang Yu’s secretary and assistant under the pretense of job transfers, getting them to the Second Level.
Ascending from First Level to Second Level is the difference between regular and senior employees, but reaching the Third Level involves becoming grassroots leadership, where a significant barrier exists, often requiring open positions, and most cultivators cannot surpass it without decades of effort.
