I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Magical Sword, Seven Star Kunwu Sword.

This was a magic sword measuring one and a half meters in length, with a pale purple sword body and a single-edged blade. There were two ancient characters, ‘Kunwu,’ on one side, and seven grooves on the other, the grooves all purple, as if inlaid with seven purple starlight. The ancient characters and the starlight were the origins of this sword’s name.

One hundred top-grade Spirit Stones were placed in a transparent jade box, the Spirit Stones grey-white in color, with a faint purple trace the size of a fingernail in the center of each stone.

An Inspector was a position under the Department of Punishment, one of the six ministries in Daqian Immortal Country. Those granted this position were in charge of patrolling the territory, eliminating demons, executing criminals, and maintaining peace and security in the region.

This position was divided into five levels, from five Orders to one Order.

Fifth Order was for Qi Cultivating Cultivators, Fourth Order for Foundation Establishment, Third Order for Golden Core, Second Order for Nascent Soul, and the First Order of Daqian were the three Dukes.

Of course, the position of Inspector came with a salary and was quite generous.

A Fourth Order Inspector’s annual salary base was a thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones, and was approved by the Department of Punishment before being distributed each year.

According to the price of magical instruments, a thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones could buy the lowest grade of a top-quality magical item. Becoming a Fourth Order Inspector meant that one could obtain a top-quality magical item every year without doing any work.

This treatment was, in fact, very high.

The Seven Star Kunwu Sword, one hundred top-grade Spirit Stones, and an iron-black token representing the identity of a Fourth Order Inspector.

These three items were placed before Han Yi, causing his emotions to be complex.

Ecstatic? Of course he was ecstatic.

Although the items would make a Golden Core Stage cultivator happy, the fact remained that one hundred top-grade Spirit Stones could buy a basic magical treasure, and with the addition of the Kunwu Sword, it was equivalent to holding two magical treasures.

In this kind of temptation, under certain circumstances, Gold Core cultivators might even be willing to rob them personally.

However, there has never been immortal affinity without a cause in this world.

On this point, Han Yi was very certain.

His complex feelings stemmed from this. He was worried that there would be strings attached.

But he had to take it. Not only did he have to take it, but also he had no choice but to accept the rewards given by the Daqian Emperor which couldn’t be refused.

However, having taken these items, an uneasy feeling settled in his heart.

But what relieved Han Yi was that this time, he had used the name of the Heavenly Will Sect, meaning that he had attracted the support of this mysterious sect and acted as his backer.

So if there were any future troubles, they would have to go through the Heavenly Will Sect before getting to him.

“It seems that your performance in the Treasured Jade Heaven has been well-acknowledged.”‘

Qin Wuxian looked at Han Yi, his eyes sharp, seemingly probing, but without asking further. After all, it was Han Yi’s secret, and he naturally wouldn’t interfere.

Seeing Han Yi’s dilemma, Qin Wuxian smiled and said,”

Take it. No matter your intentions, you must accept these items.”

Furthermore, there is no problem with these rewards.”

The magical treasures, Spirit Stones, and even the position of Inspector are all common rewards from the Daqian Emperor and are not inappropriate at all.”

Han Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, “Elder Qin, is the position of Inspector also a common reward?”

Qin Wuxian nodded.

“The Daqian Immortal Country is different from the mundane world. There are more entanglements between the Immortal Country and the sects.

Celebrations like this have occurred many times in the past few thousand years.”

“Every time, the reigning Daqian Emperor would grant immortal affinity to the cultivators participating in the celebration, such as your participation in the Treasured Jade Heaven and the Spiritual Jade within the Cave Heaven.”

“After the celebration, some cultivators who are highly regarded will be awarded spiritual items, including Spirit Stones, magical tools, and treasures, as well as the most common position, Inspector.”

“The so-called Inspectors patrol the four territories, but they do not need to be stationed in a specific place, and even if the cultivator never returns to their sect and never carries out the duties of the Inspector, there is no problem at all.”

“Once, a Qi Cultivating Cultivator of a Golden Core sect was granted the position of Fifth Order Inspector. Seven hundred years later, he showed his inspection token and exchanged it for the Second Order Inspector position. He received the salary for that entire period, and the Daqian administration never queried it, nor punished him, but rather was extremely happy.”

“In short, this is the good karma of Daqian Emperor and the various sects and the talented individuals of each realm.”

“It is rumored that after the Spirit Transformation stage, this karma needs to be concluded.”

“However, it is too far away for you to worry about.”

“You can also understand it as a kind of investment by Daqian in the entire country, including both the government and the sects, as well as cultivation families.”

“The cost of this investment is trivial to Daqian, but if a cultivator can truly cultivate to the Spirit Transformation stage, then the investment of countless years will be instantly recouped.”

“Do you understand now?”

Han Yi nodded, suddenly enlightened.

The way the Daqian Immortal Country operated was to provide some support to cultivators when they were weaker. It didn’t matter whether they were willing to execute the duties of the Inspector or not—what mattered to Daqian was that they had provided it, and the cultivator had accepted it, creating a karmic relationship between the two parties.

Before the Spirit Transformation stage, the cultivator could just wait for the payout, while after this stage, causality would come into play.

Of course, there was a bit of coercion in this matter.

However, for Han Yi at this moment, it was truly delightful.

Since there were no major problems with what Daqian had awarded him, and it was similar to what others had received, what was there to worry about?

Han Yi put the magical treasures, Spirit Stones, and tokens into his storage bag.

A thought suddenly occurred to him, reminding him of the gentle voice of the Immortal Courtesy Department cultivator from the Daqian seven days ago, after he emerged from the Treasured Jade Heaven. It seemed that his performance inside the Cave Heaven had been carefully watched by some people..
