Once the transfer was confirmed, things moved very quickly.
The Nancheng Suppression Office informed Chen Ping'an that he could report for duty within five days, after arranging the affairs of the Nanquan Lane Garrison Office.
On the first night after the transfer order came down, the Nanquan Lane Garrison Office was filled with congratulations.
"Congratulations on your promotion, Lord Chen."
"Lord Chen, congratulations, congratulations."
"......"
Monkey Head Da Shan, Zeng Jihe, and Qin Tou, among others, also came to offer their congratulations.
Chen Ping'an chatted with each of them for a while.
Now that he was promoted to the South City Prison, he naturally needed to bring a few trusted aides with him.
Although he hadn't officially taken office yet, he had heard from Mu Wanjun that his new position at the South City Prison might not be so smooth. Having a few trusted aides by his side would make handling matters much easier.
Apart from Qin Tou, Monkey Head Da Shan and the others readily agreed, all expressing their willingness to follow him to the South City Prison.
However, Chen Ping'an had just been transferred to the Nancheng Suppression Office, and as a new official, the upper connections had not yet been established. Transferring three people at once was no small matter.
It wasn't worth troubling Mu Wanjun just for this.
Therefore, Chen Ping'an decided to bring Zeng Jihe with him first. As for Monkey Head and Da Shan, they would first develop well in the Nanquan Lane Garrison Office and serve as good Squad Leaders.
He would find a way for them to get registered status at the Nancheng Suppression Office.
Naturally, Monkey Head and Da Shan readily agreed to this.
Once Chen Ping'an was promoted to prison warden, with his status, if he was willing to expend some favors, it wouldn't be that difficult to get one or two temporary Yamen Runners registered.
Some things in this world are just like that. What seems incredibly difficult to you might just be an effortless act for someone else.
In the days leading up to his transfer, Chen Ping'an felt particularly relaxed. He even spent more and more time Cultivating his Cultivation Technique daily.
Name: Chen Ping'an
Realm: Qi Blood Sixth Stage Perfection
Martial Arts: Iron Cloth Perfection, Flying Locust Stone Perfection, Gongmen Thirteen Blades Perfection, Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Perfection, Golden Bell Cover Minor Achievement (135/160), Swift Wind Saber Technique Not Initiated (20/20), Eight Steps Catching Cicadas Not Initiated (15/20)
......
Looking at the information on the panel, Chen Ping'an felt excited. His Swift Wind Saber Technique had accumulated enough experience and could be initiated at any time.
"Breakthrough!"
Chen Ping'an's eyes flashed with brilliance, and the experience value on the panel began to stir.
It was still the incredibly familiar process and feeling; insights into the Swift Wind Saber Technique constantly dawned on him.
As a high-grade Cultivation Technique, the Swift Wind Saber Technique was naturally extraordinary. Even if it was only initiated, it provided more insights based on the Gongmen Thirteen Blades.
The saber was like a swift wind, carrying the meaning of howling and rapidity. Each saber strike was continuous like a swift wind, until it broke through the opponent's defense.
Swift Wind Saber Technique initiated!
It was as if a trace of new Qi Blood had been injected into Chen Ping'an's body. Although this trace of Qi Blood was not much, it caused the Qi Blood throughout Chen Ping'an's body to begin to vibrate violently, like a vessel reaching its limit about to burst its cap.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Chen Ping'an's heart beat violently, each beat bringing a new surge of energy.
Qi Blood circulated within his limbs and bones, gradually converging at his Dantian.
Chen Ping'an only felt a faint tingling sensation around his navel area.
The sensation became clearer and clearer, more and more distinct.
Finally.......
Crack!
It was like an eggshell cracking.
At this moment, Chen Ping'an opened up his Dantian Qi Sea.
A massive amount of Qi Blood steamed and transformed into turbid spiritual Qi, which was then refined and converted into pure Internal Energy within his body.
The first stage of Internal Energy, the initial formation of the Qi Sea, succeeded!
"Internal Qi Realm, achieved!"
Chen Ping'an was excited, an unspeakable heroic feeling welling up within him.
Internal Qi Realm!
Entering the Internal Qi Realm meant that even in the Nancheng Suppression Office, a place full of hidden talents, he was an absolute Martial Artist expert.
Throughout the entire Nancheng Suppression Office, Internal Qi Realm experts were few and far between.
There were only a handful of people, such as the Chief Warrant Officer, Deputy Total Affairs Office, and Internal Energy offerings. Even if all the various Families, Gangs, and other forces in Nancheng were counted, the number of Internal Qi Realm experts probably wouldn't exceed twenty.
In the outer city of Wei River County City, in the four major districts of southeast, northwest, with his current situation, no matter which district he went to, he could live a stable life and be respected.
Not to mention the outer city, looking at the entire Wei River County City, the Internal Qi Realm was an absolute pillar. No matter which force he joined, he would receive extremely high treatment.
It could be said that by stepping into the Internal Qi Realm, he had truly gained a firm foothold in Wei River County City.
Wei River County is vast, governing dozens of cities. Although most of them are small cities, its vastness is beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
It is by no means easy for ordinary people to gain a firm foothold in a city, let alone Wei River County City, which is the core of the entire Wei River County.
Feeling the Qi Sea within his body, Chen Ping'an felt relaxed.
The Qi Sea is the place where Internal Energy is stored and nourished. The more Internal Energy stored within it, the more reserves there are during combat, and the stronger the endurance.
Of course, the storage and nourishment of Internal Energy cannot be completed overnight.
At this moment, Chen Ping'an's Qi Sea only contained a few wisps of Internal Energy, but even this small amount of Internal Energy was something that most Qi Blood Realm Martial Artists found difficult to overcome in their entire lives.
Chen Ping'an's mind stirred slightly, and the Internal Energy in his Dantian Qi Sea began to move in response to his will.
"What a magical feeling."
As early as the Qi Blood Realm, the major tendons and Acupoints throughout his limbs and bones had already been completely unblocked. At this moment, Internal Energy circulated continuously within his body in accordance with his will.
Chen Ping'an concentrated these few wisps of Internal Energy into the orifices of his eyes. As the Internal Energy gathered, Chen Ping'an felt that his eyesight and vision had improved significantly.
He could see even the slightest details in the distance clearly.
With a thought, Chen Ping'an transferred this Internal Energy from his eye orifices to his ear orifices. As the Internal Energy poured in, his hearing immediately improved significantly.
Subtle sounds that he hadn't noticed before now seemed to be amplified.
"The application of Internal Energy is indeed magical!"
Chen Ping'an was overjoyed.
The application of Internal Energy was completely different from the methods of the Qi Blood Realm. If used properly, it was simply a great weapon. It could comprehensively enhance his combat power.
After testing his eye orifices and ear orifices, Chen Ping'an continued to test his nasal orifice. When he tried to test other areas, he found that the original few wisps of Internal Energy had almost become imperceptible, nearly depleted.
Chen Ping'an understood and temporarily stopped his attempts to try other places.
Indeed, every application of Internal Energy resulted in some consumption.
And this was only internal circulation. If Internal Energy were condensed onto external weapons, it would probably be consumed even faster, and his small amount of Internal Energy would not be enough to waste.
Not to mention external use, even the major joints of the limbs would require a period of accumulation for Internal Energy to fully fill and activate them.
As for attaching it to external weapons, that was not something Chen Ping'an could consider at this stage.
Speaking of which, the battle between Mu Wanjun and the Ten Thousand Demons Sect Great Deacon Wu Haihua had showcased techniques of flying sword shadows and bursting Internal Energy.
According to his understanding during this period, only by accumulating Internal Energy to an extremely terrifying degree, almost filling the Dantian Qi Sea, could one achieve such a level.
"It seems Mu Wanjun has almost reached the Perfection of the first Internal Energy barrier."
He had only vaguely judged this before, but now that he had entered the Internal Qi Realm, Chen Ping'an had a very clear perception.
"Accumulating Internal Energy is a long and arduous Dao!"
Chen Ping'an sighed.
With his current amount of Internal Energy, he didn't even need to fight; just by moving it around and trying it out, it was almost depleted. If the Internal Qi Realm also had divisions, then he would belong to the category where the Internal Qi Realm had not yet been completely consolidated.
"However......
Fortunately, there's the Golden Finger panel!"
The existence of the Golden Finger panel would allow Chen Ping'an to quickly catch up with veteran experts, and even surpass them.
