What is Li Qianren's goal?
Is it really just about getting promoted and getting rich?
Did he benefit from Gu Qingfeng obtaining the Elixir of Immortality?
Gu Qingfeng doesn't think so. Li Qianren doesn't seem like the type who craves power and status.
"Forget it, I won't overthink it. Whatever his motives are, they ultimately revolve around the Jade Dragon Secret Realm a year from now. A year is more than enough time for many things to change." Gu Qingfeng muttered to himself.
He's not the kind of person who likes to dwell on things. If he can't figure it out, he won't bother thinking about it.
After all, a year from now, I'll be invincible, and you can do whatever you want.
Gu Qingfeng started as a Qi Condensation Third Layer practitioner and has now reached a level comparable to a Grandmaster. That only took him less than a month. If he had another year...
The thought was too beautiful, and Gu Qingfeng didn't even dare to imagine it.
At that moment, Gu Qingfeng suddenly felt someone approaching.
Sure enough, not long after, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The door creaked open, and a middle-aged man dressed as a steward entered, carrying a large box.
"Excuse me, are you Lord Gu Qingfeng?" the steward asked, placing the box down and bowing.
"Yes, that's me," Gu Qingfeng replied coolly. As a Dark-rank Demon Eliminator, he had to maintain a bit of an official demeanor.
"Greetings, Lord Gu. This is the reward from Lord Li Qianren. Please take a look."
With that, the steward opened the box, and a golden glow filled the room. Gu Qingfeng was momentarily blinded, and his mouth watered uncontrollably.
"This includes your new official robes, badge, documents, and a thousand taels of gold. The million merit points are all recorded in your badge."
"Very good, very good," Gu Qingfeng wiped his mouth and said, "Thank you for the trouble. Just leave it here."
"Yes, Lord Gu. Oh, and Lord Li Qianren asked me to inform you that although you are now a Dark-rank Demon Eliminator, the positions in the Demon Suppression Bureau are currently full, so you will temporarily hold a nominal position. You will remain in Yin Mountain County for now, serving as Deputy to Lord He Fenghua."
"A nominal position? Does the salary for a nominal position match that of a full Dark-rank Demon Eliminator?"
"Yes, it's the same."
"That's fine then." Gu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the money was the same, it didn't matter. As for not being able to transition to a full position due to lack of vacancies, that was simple. If He Fenghua happened to pass away, everything would be resolved.
"Lord Gu, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
"You may go." Gu Qingfeng waved his hand, his eyes glued to the gold.
After the steward left, Gu Qingfeng let out a mischievous laugh and pounced on the gold, feeling its solid texture.
"Hahaha, mine! All mine! I'm rich!" Gu Qingfeng exclaimed with excitement.
In both his previous and current life, he had been poor. This was the first time he had ever seen such a large sum of money, and it filled him with joy.
After enjoying the sight for a while, Gu Qingfeng reluctantly stored the gold in his extradimensional space and changed into his new official robes.
The Dark-rank Demon Eliminator's robes were more intricate than the Yellow-rank ones, with mysterious golden patterns embroidered with gold thread, instantly elevating the sense of luxury.
As the saying goes, "To be rich and not return home is like wearing fine clothes at night."
Thus, after dressing up, Gu Qingfeng headed straight for the Demon Suppression Prison.
At the prison, he spent an hour bragging with his former colleagues. His former superior, Warden Li, had now become just "Old Li."
Then, Gu Qingfeng made plans with everyone to go to the Heavenly Fragrance Tower for drinks that evening. Everyone happily agreed. The Heavenly Fragrance Tower was the largest money-burning establishment in Wutong Prefecture, and the annual salary of these jailers wouldn't even cover a single visit. Now that someone was treating, everyone was eager to go.
However, those who had to stay behind to work the night shift were out of luck. Since the Demon Suppression Prison couldn't be left unattended, they couldn't join in the fun.
After bragging for a while, Gu Qingfeng took the documents Li Qianren had given him and made his way to the first level of the Demon Suppression Prison without any obstacles.
Looking at the familiar eerie and dim environment, Gu Qingfeng felt a sense of joy.
"Hmm... This oppressive and terrifying atmosphere... Hmm... This rotten and stuffy smell... Hmm... This is definitely my home!" Gu Qingfeng said with a look of bliss.
"Little Corpse Charm~ I'm here..."
Without a word, Gu Qingfeng headed straight for Little Corpse Charm's cell. It had been years (though it felt like an eternity) since he last saw her, and he missed her dearly.
The cell door creaked open.
Little Corpse Charm was startled and, upon seeing Gu Qingfeng, reacted instinctively, transforming into a charming beauty dressed in a maid outfit.
"Master, you're back! Where have you been these past few days? I've missed you so much," Little Corpse Charm said with a forced smile.
Gu Qingfeng felt his mood lighten up.
"Good girl, Master missed you too. Did you practice well while I was gone?"
"I practiced every day, Master. My feet are so sore from practicing."
"Don't be silly, you're a corpse, what do you know about being sore? Show me what you've learned."
"Yes, Master."
Little Corpse Charm put on her shoes and was about to start, but Gu Qingfeng stopped her.
"Wait a moment, I need to get something."
So, Gu Qingfeng turned and went to Eye Demon's cell. Eye Demon, seeing Gu Qingfeng again, panicked and hid in the corner of the room, covering his eyes with his wings, as if that would make him invisible.
It was quite the "hide your ears and steal the bell" scenario.
Gu Qingfeng didn't indulge him and simply grabbed him by the wings, ready to take him away.
Eye Demon flapped his wings frantically. "Where are you taking me?"
Gu Qingfeng didn't answer but instead stared intently at Eye Demon for a moment. "Huh? Your eye healed? It's not bleeding anymore? That's not good. As a demon, you should be all bloody and gruesome. That's what's impressive."
As he spoke, Gu Qingfeng's right hand formed a blade with his index and middle fingers and stabbed fiercely!
"Ahhh! My eye! My eye!"
...
After a stick of incense's time, Eye Demon, with a big bloody eye, looked utterly dejected. He was now acting as a projector with sound effects in Little Corpse Charm's cell.
The entire cell transformed into a stage, with countless lights shining on Little Corpse Charm as she danced energetically.

e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces.
